Round II
This involves the nominees from the different universities in Round I. The young designers will be asked to film a three-minute “elevator pitch” to convince a jury of six lighting professionals.
The professionals will evaluate all the films submitted by the universities and select the best eighteen to go through to Round III (conference in Berlin).
The winners from this round will be allocated an advisor to coach them to success. Winners, and therefore semi-finalists, will be announced on 13. September, 2018!
What is an “elevator pitch”? The chance to state the respective topic and explain in clear terms why it is important. The opportunity to sum up what your audience should understand and how you intend to get your message across. Any unique qualities the presentation could feature should be named.
