Join us for the Annual Young Public Opinion Scholars Competition, co-sponsored by the New York and Pennsylvania/New Jersey chapters of the American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR). Participants in this virtual event will not only receive feedback from leading scholars in the field, they will also be competing for cash prizes!

Current students and recent graduates (within the past year) are eligible to submit an abstract in the fields of public opinion and methodology, including theory, substantive findings, research methods, and/or statistical techniques. If accepted to compete, participants will pre-record themselves narrating a slideshow presentation in which they discuss their research. Each participant will also have a Q&A period with our panel of judges during the event.

The esteemed panel of judges includes:
