Design & Technologies

A major element of our annual festival is the Design & Technologies Exhibition which provides opportunities for students, faculty and staff to share work from all areas of theater; some realized projects and some 'paper' projects.

There are two levels of competitions for awards, National and Regional. A single project can only be entered in one of these areas. However, there is no limit on the number of projects you may enter.

National Entry: How to enter

National competitors must enter through the KCACTF national. See http://www.kcactf.org/ for national registration details.

When a show is entered as a Participating or an Associate entry, the student designers are entered through the respondent's form which is filled out after they come to see the show. The names of each student designer involved in that show and their design area should be given to the respondent so they may include them. There are no additional forms to fill out. The school's contact or the student contact will be utilized at some point to ensure they are planning to attend the festival.

The student must register to attend the Region I festival and sign up for a time that they will be there to have their work critiqued by a panel of respondents. They are responsible for setting up and striking their displays. See festival program for set up times. http://www.kcactf1.org/festival_info.asp

It is possible the student will be called back for a second response within the next day or two following their original response session.

Regional Entry: How to enter

Regional entries can be a realized production or a class project. Awards are cash prizes and books, but these entries will not be eligible for national awards.

Regional only competitors must fill out the form found at http://www.kcactf1.org/design_tech_reg_
entry_form.asp

The student must register to attend the Region I festival and sign up for a time that they will be there to have their work critiqued by a panel of respondents.
