Each year, IAGLR honors outstanding student presentations given at the Conference on Great Lakes Research. The awards consist of a cash prize and a complimentary one-year membership to IAGLR, which includes a subscription to the Journal of Great Lakes Research. Students enter the competition by indicating their interest when they submit an abstract for their presentation at the conference.
