The latest Chambliss Astronomy Achievement Student Awards poster competition was a success, and we at the AAS are excited to announce the winners of the competition! The following winners presented their posters at our 241st AAS meeting in Seattle, Washington, in January 2023. The competition is only possible because of the hard work of our many judges, so if you haven't signed up to judge student posters in the past (or in a while), I encourage you to do so in the future. Your next opportunity will be at the 242nd AAS meeting in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in June 2023.

Here are the Chambliss award winners from Seattle:
