The Technical Committee on Architectural Acoustics with support from the Robert Bradford Newman Student Award Fund and The Wenger Foundation, is sponsoring a student design competition to be judged in conjunction with Acoustics 2023 Sydney to be held in Sydney, Australia on 4-8 December 2023.
The Student Design Competition is intended to encourage students in the disciplines of Architecture, Engineering,
Physics, and other curriculums that involve building design and/or acoustics to express their knowledge of architectural acoustics and noise control in a schematic design of a facility in which acoustical considerations are of primary importance
See the Entry Information for details about the competition and how to enter.
Open Meetings of Technical Committees

Much of the work of the ASA is accomplished by actions that originate and are taken in these meetings including proposals for special sessions, workshops, and technical initiatives. All meeting participants are cordially invited to attend these meetings and to participate actively in the discussions. (schedule can be found in the Itinerary Planner)

- POMA has new Word and LaTeX manuscript templates and cover pages are now generated automatically at the time of publication.
- Published papers are being both indexed in scholarly venues and highlighted on Twitter and Facebook.
-
- be enrolled as a student at least half-time (graduates are eligible if the presented work was performed as a student within one year of the meeting). Note that the student author does not need to be a member of the ASA to qualify.

POMA Student Paper Competition – Sydney!
POMA is holding a society-wide student paper competition for a POMA submission based on a presentation or poster from the Australia meeting.

Qualifications
To qualify for the award, an author must:
To enter: Indicate your paper is part of the POMA Student Paper Competition by selecting this option during the POMA submission process.
Selection: The papers will be rated by the POMA Associate Editor corresponding the technical area in which the paper was presented. The top related papers will be evaluated by the POMA Editor, POMA Assistant Editor, and POMA Manuscript Manager and up to five winning papers will be selected. Note that the paper judging will take place concurrently with the ordinary editorial review of a POMA submission; each judged paper will be returned with comments and a publication decision.
Additional Instructions

· Regardless of the competition outcome, the opportunity to publish an editor-reviewed proceedings paper will enhance your CV/resume and help you take an important intermediate step toward a peer-reviewed publication.
