Launch of the ISLP Poster Competition in Pakistan: Experiences and Insights

This paper presents an account of the launch of the ISLP Poster Competition in Pakistan for the very first time in 2020–2021. The first phase of the competition, the ‘national competition,’ attracted 23 posters from undergraduate students of various higher education institutions within the country, and in the second and final phase, the ‘international competition,’ the national winner from Pakistan was selected to be the international winner as well. Based on this positive experience, it is recommended that developing nations engage with such activities without any reservations because these are likely to promote not only self-confidence in their students enrolled in various disciplines but also the urge for learning the basics of statistics that will promote long-lasting appreciation of the subject.
