If you are a Master's or Ph.D. student with research results, consider participating in the annual competition for The Herpetologists' League Graduate Research Award.
There are six prizes to be won. The student award competition is more demanding than those of the other herpetological societies, but the chances of winning something are higher, and you will get a lot out of the experience whether you win the first prize or not.
Additionally, it affords an excellent opportunity to make your research known to the community at large, and it is a great way for participants to meet the officers and members of the society.
