You can read a blog post outlining details or the official call for submissions here: http://westmuse.wordpress.com/2013/04/09/call-for-poster-session-proposals/

To help with the costs of attendance and travel, the WMA offers the Wanda Chin Scholarship. The Scholarship program is a vital component of our mission, and we encourage all students, incoming and mid-career professionals to apply today! The deadline for the Scholarship is June 1, 2013.
