Graduate students are invited to participate in two competitions at the APRES Annual Meeting
- Joe Sugg Graduate Student Competition (Oral Presentation), sponsored by the North Carolina Peanut Growers Association
- National Peanut Board Poster Competition
Students are eligible to compete in either competition, but may only choose one.
In 2021, APRES introducted Two Competition Divisions: PhD and a Master section.
Award for Each Division:
- 1st Place = $500

Additionally, the winner of the Joe Sugg Graduate Student Oral Presentation Competition is invited to submit a manuscript for Peanut Science publication consideration. If accepted, page charges will be waived.
