Decisions about the 2004 awards were based on the assessment of a panel of judges, the student's lay statement about the importance of the research, the student's 2-3 page synopsis of the research, and a letter from the supervisor about the student's role in the project.

This year's prize for best paper or poster is $100, an engraved plaque, a certificate, and a 1-year membership in BBCS. The prize for honorable mention is a 1-year membership in BBCS.
