➢    What format should I use for my presentation?
Please supply your presentation in .ppxt powerpoint file formatted to 16:9 aspect ratio, HD1080p. For embedded media; please re-render any Hi-Res images (especially floor plans) to a smaller format. The full width and height of your presentation will be 1920 x 1080 pixels. Please avoid including any 4K resolution files in your presentation, or images that have not been resized to fit these dimensions.

If you have any embedded videos, please could you type a ‘(VT)’  into your presentation’s file name so the AV team on the day will be prepared for it, so we can adjust sound levels for the jury to hear any audio over the video. Similarly to the last point, the broadcast and video standard for the event is 1080i50 – so if you could please also refrain from adding a 4K video to your presentation. We recommend any videos that you would like to play out, are exported as 1080i50, this will allow your videos to look the best and most cohesive to the Jury.

*Note – We also recommend that you have a test/run-through of your .pptx document in Powerpoint’s slideshow mode before you submit your presentation, as this is where issues will arise with any larger/embedded files.


➢    What AV/media will be available for the presentation?
A digital screen with appropriate A/V will be available. Your presentation will be pre-loaded in advance on a Mac and ready ahead of your scheduled presentation time. We will provide a clicker to change slides.

➢    Will judges visit finalists’ project sites?
No, the judges will not visit project sites. Winners will be selected based on face-to-face presentations by finalists.
 
➢    Where do I park when I arrive?
There is pay parking available at the Downtown Carpark.

➢    When will I find out if I have won an award?
Winners will be announced at the Awards and Networking Evening on Thursday 4th July 2024. Winners will not be notified in advance of this date.
