The SEAC Officers along with the Student Affairs Committee are excited to announce a new student award opportunity that will debut at the 2026 Birmingham Meeting!

The SEAC Student Poster Award recognizes outstanding undergraduate and graduate student research presented in poster format at the annual meeting. The award seeks to encourage the dissemination of archaeological research through visual communication, fosters professional development among student scholars, and acknowledges excellence in poster design, presentation, and contribution to archaeological knowledge. The award is composed of two categories: Undergraduate Student Poster Award and Graduate Student Poster Award. The prize is a monetary award of $400.

You can get all of the details about how to submit your poster for consideration and see the judging rubric on the SEAC Website under the Awards tab.

The deadline to submit your letter of intent to participate is Oct 14. We look forward to seeing your submissions!
