Design, Technology, & Management Expo at Festival 57
DTM students will prepare and present a project in the following areas: Scenic Design, Costume Design, Lighting Design, Sound Design, Projection Design, Allied Design & Technology, and Stage Management.
Project materials should clearly tell the story of the process, evolution and art of the design. A team of theatre design and technology respondents will serve as selection panelists and will provide feedback to the student work.
Students are not required to be nominated in order to be eligible. Both realized and unrealized/classroom projects are eligible for consideration for all awards and prizes.
To be eligible, students must:
- Have designed, managed, or created a technology project at their home institution in 2024.
- Be a registered student in 2024 (at the time the project happened) and at least 6 credit hours
- Be registered for and attend the Regional Festival to showcase their project and participate in response sessions.
