ISLP Poster Competition 2022-2023

The competition

ISLP is pleased to announce the International Poster Competition for 2022-2023. The competition invites school and university students from around the world to design a statistical poster. There is no particular theme or topic required for a poster to be eligible. The posters should reflect or illustrate usage analysis, interpretation and communication of statistics or statistical information.

There will be a National competition within each country involved, followed by an International competition to determine the overall winners. These will be announced and the posters displayed at the 64th World Statistics Congress of the ISI in Canada in July 2023.
