This seams like an cpmpetiton that would very insetting to enter but i dont think i would have a good chance at ranking in this because my work is not all that good. but if you do win this it would be very insetting getting to go to the Usitt meeting with all of those cool companies and get to see all of the new technology that thes company have made and will be seen in the coming years. so i think that i might enter this in the coming years but not this year.

It seems like a competition, but i'm not entirely sure.... I would love more details, and would love to enter just for the purpose of seeing what its all about. There will be future years where we could win (robert) but need some practice first. USITT sounds fascinating also....

For most of junior and senior year of high school, I sort of fantasied and doodled in class about what my ideal venue would be like. Then I got involved with a real systems design/venue construction project and swore I would never venture into that part of the industry. As an exercise, I find it fascinating, and would love to engage in this competition if I thought I had the time, or the modeling and rendering skills to actually demonstrate my ideas.

I think I'll stop at systems design for touring or semi-permanent shows. Still gives you the ability to really design something from the ground up, but mostly keeps things within our industry. Its when you get into the construction industry that I start to get truly frustrated.
