Display Guide

Display regulations

The BOSEPO Organising Committee has the authority on display and safety issues for projects to compete in the BOSEPO. BOSEPO Organising Committee may require students to revise their displays to ensure compliance.

Maximum size of project display at BOSEPO (check the image to the left)

Body length: 140 cm (note the folds and title card incisions)
Body width: 125 cm
Title: 100x30 cm

These are maximum measurements, so your display may be smaller than this. Maximum project sizes include all project materials and equipment to present the project such as display board, models, kits, and devices.

For each project, BOSEPO will provide a booth with a table and 2 chairs. Students will use the table to stand their board. BOSEPO will provide a three-fold display cardboard and a title cardboard. You should come to the fair with pre-printed materials to prepare your board. Additionally, make sure you have a pair of scissors and 2 rolls of double-sided tape, as these will not be provided.

Tips for the display

Your title and other headings should be neat and large enough to be read at a distance of about 1 m (3 feet). The title should catch the interest of the observer.
To design your display poster, you may use software such as: Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Publisher, Photoshop, Canva, CorelDRAW, etc.
You may include pictures of important phases of the project to use in your display. Take care that the images are of sufficient quality because they will be printed in a rather large format.
Be organised and make sure that your display follows a sequence (similar to your research paper).
Use neat, colorful headings, charts, and graphs to make your display eye-catching, but it should look simple, not crowded.
Be sure to follow display size limitations and safety rules.
Do not sacrifice the proper scientific content for visual appeal and fancy design. You will be judged on the scientific value of your project. Do not spend too much time or money on the display
Do not copy your entire research paper onto the display, either. Stick to the most important facts and concepts, and make your findings (results) and key conclusions central.

Sample project displays

Preparing a well-made display is essential for project presentation in the BOSEPO finals. To help you on that path, we prepared a Handbooks and Samples section where you can find sample films from previous years to inspire you.
