CCA

Best Student Paper

An award of $100 is given for the best student paper presented at the CCA annual conference. All student papers included in the program are automatically entered for the competition.

A paper may be co-authored by a faculty member, but the student must have actively participated in the research and have sole responsibility for delivering the paper.

The entries will be judged by a three person panel including the chair of the CCA Cartographic Education Special Interest Group. Judging will be based on the content and structure of the paper and the quality of the presentation. The judges may also take into account the extent of the student's involvement in the research on which the paper is based, and his or her status (i.e. undergraduate or graduate) and year level.

Victoria Tasker is the winner of Best Student Paper at the recent CCA/ACC 2010 meeting held in Regina, Saskatchewan with the paper titled: "A Geomatics Perspective on Vineyard Management in the Niagara Region". She is a Masters student in the Geography Department at Brock University.
