art in science award

Poster & Presentation awards

In 1991, the first novel award was presented in recognition of excellence in pressure distribution research. The novel award recipient was determined by an international review committee from the fields of biomechanics and medicine. The novel award for pressure distribution measurement research continued since then to be endowed by novel and the best scientific manuscript in the field of load distribution measurement will receive the 2010 art in science award with a prize of $5,000.00. The paper must be entirely original, not published at the time of the meeting in any journal nor submitted for publication to any journal or book. The paper must describe a scientific study including pressure distribution measurement. Seven abstracts were nominated for the art in science award.

From 2010 on, the "novel award" will be named the
"art in science award". In the future, the prize will be awarded also to scientists presenting papers not only associated with pedography or foot biomechanics, therefore the award going forward will be the "art in science award".

The nominated authors were requested to send a full length paper by the June 15, 2010 date and will present the paper at the meeting during a 25 minute talk. The review of the papers was conducted by the scientific review committee. The art in science award will be presented to the winner at the final reception on Tuesday evening, August 17, 2010.
