Evaluation process
The artwork of each participant will be uploaded on YSA's Instagram channel for promoting and collecting votes. Additionally, each artwork will be presented at the art gallery during the YSA PhD symposium. All symposium participants are encouraged to place their votes at the symposium's art gallery, on the 1st day of the symposium only. The artwork, which collected the most votes (Instagram AND art gallery) will be nominated the people's choice winner. The contest prize winner will be announced at the science party.

Note: As the people's choice winner of the on-site art gallery and the Instagram online voting differed completly, but both art pieces were magnificent and worth a price, we decided to nominate 2 winners for this contest - on-site & online!

We congratulate the winner of the Publication Award Maximilian Baumgartner and are looking forward to hearing his presentation "Mucosal Biofilms Are an Endoscopic Feature of Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Ulcerative Colitis". The presentation will take place on June, 15th; 14:05 - 14:35.

Submission deadline

Submission criteria
Since the publication award is endowed with personal price money, every submission must hold either (or both) of the two criteria:

  1. You are the single first author of the publication that is submitted. In the case of shared first authorship, please contact your fellow first author(s) and ask them for their consent. We are not going to review if you did that – this is solely in the interest of open communication and fairness.
  2. Since the topic of the order of authors is very subjective and varies vastly from field to field , we decided to allow submissions, even if you are not the first author but have still contributed significantly enough to the paper. You have to include all fellow authors in cc to your submission email. We will send you a confirmation email, as a reply to all authors, in which we state that if none of the authors object to this submission, this automatically makes you allegeable to potentially win the award and therefore price money. Please contact all fellow authors before submitting, to avoid unpleasant surprises, and conflicts among authors and potentially negotiate the consent already.

Evaluation process
We, the YSA, are going to pre-screen the papers, after which we will forward the three best papers to an expert jury at the Medical University, consisting of experienced researchers for a final verdict. Our jury is made up of multi-disciplinary researchers, all very experienced in publishing scientific literature. To reduce the bias and enhance an “objective” pre-screening we will not base our pre-selection solely on impact factor and citations but will try to normalize metrics across the different fields and disciplines.
