SABO Award
The South African Ballistics Organisation (SABO) Award is an award, instituted at the Beijing Symposium for the first time, to give recognition to the author(s) of the best poster as displayed and presented to appointed adjudicators at the International Symposium on Ballistics. The Award is adjudicated on various criteria, eg originality of the research, presence of author(s) at the poster during the session, visual quality and lay-out of the poster, etc. (Click here to see the current award winning poster.)
 The SABO award is a statue of a Zulu warrior.
The aim of this award is to inspire poster presenters to present their work in creative, legible and professional fashion in order to make the poster sessions special exchange of information events at the symposiums. A maximum of three posters from each poster session are nominated for the award by the poster chairmen after their session. It is accepted that the poster chairmen are experts in the respective fields and that they have scrutinized the contents of each nomination for originality and contribution to that particular field. The presence of the author at the poster during the session is of paramount importance. All nominations are then evaluated on equal footing by the adjudication committee for visual quality, creative skill and layout, and a winner is selected from the nominations.
The First SABO award was presented at the 25th ISB in Beijing by Izak Snyman to Mr. Chen-li TAO.
The Second SABO award was presented at the 26th ISB Miami by Izak Snyman to Timothy Johnson
