Student Lighting Design Competition

iSquint.net, Stage Directions Magazine, Nemetschek Vectorworks, City Theatrical and Field Template have teamed up to offer one lucky lighting design student a prize package. The winner of the 2013 Student Lighting Design Competition will walk away with a Professional License of Vectorworks® Spotlight 2013 with Renderworks® software, a personal license of Lightwright™ 5, a single license of Field Templates SoftSymbols V3.5, a copy of Light Plot Deconstructed and Entertainment Design: Scenic, Lighting and Sound with Vectorworks Spotlight guides.

The rules are very simple: produce a lighting design with Vectorworks Spotlight with Renderworks and Lightwright.  The design can be from a theatrical, live event, opera, concert, what ever you want except an architectural design. The design does not have to be a realized play, meaning that it does not have to be produced in order to be submitted to the Student Lighting Design Competition.

But wait, you need VVectorworks Spotlight with Renderworks and Lightwright to enter the contest to win the very same software!  Easy enough, as a full-time student with an active and valid college or university ID, you can download a FREE* student version of Vectorworks 2013 with Renderworks to learn, use and produce the entry requirements for the contest.  Lightwright also offers a demo version that can be used for producing paperwork for the competition, which you can download here www.mckernon.com. Visit student.vectorworks.net to get a free student version of Vectorworks software.  If you live outside the U.S., you will be redirected to a local distributor in your country to obtain a student version.
