The Willi Hennig Society awards up to three student prizes for presentations at each annual meeting. Awards will only be conferred if a majority of judges agree that a presentation is worthy of such recognition (none of these awards must be awarded at any given meeting).
normally awarded for the best oral presentation by a student at the annual meeting
normally awarded for the next best oral presentation by a student at the annual meeting
normally awarded for the best poster presentation by a student at the annual meeting, unless judges agree that no poster is as worthy of recognition as any of the oral presentations, in which case the Rosen Award may be awarded for a third-best oral presentation by a student.
All awards are made in cash at the annual meeting banquet.
