Gilda Severino Award

Introduced in 2024 the Gilda Severino Award is awarded to the best Poster Display at an annual conference.

Eligibility for the award:

  • The Award may be presented for the best workshop at an ASCC Annual Conference
  • Involve the entire audience in order to educate them in some form of innovative technology
  • Be relevant to the Cosmetic Industry
  • The workshop can be selected from a broad scope of possible designs. Lab work (ie a focus on developing a formulation or some sort of lab based work) is preferred but should not be the sole criteria of design, as we need a diverse range of workshops, as we have a diverse range of delegates. In addition to above we can have such things as packaging, microbiology, equipment demonstration, salon demonstrations, makeup application, etc.

 

In order to be eligible for the ASCC Peter Strasser Award the presenter shall provide (before the conference) a written, formal paper, which may be accompanied by Powerpoint presentation, slides, tables, illustrations etc. A presentation which is solely based on slides or power point presentation does not constitute a paper and is not eligible for this award.

Workshops are judged by the following criteria, in order of importance:

  • Technical Content (5 points maximum)
  • Audience Involvement and Takeaways (5 points maximum)
  • Importance and Relevance to the Industry (4 points maximum)
  • Use of Visual Aids (3 points maximum)
  • Presentation (3 points maximum)

 

The judging panel will be the participants in the workshop, ie. Each participant will be given a questionnaire, based on the criteria above and asked to score the workshop (out of 20). The Awards Committee will collect the questionnaires and collate the results. The best workshop award will be the workshop that scores the highest total score.
