Submission Guidelines
What should you present?
Anything you want to.
The only restriction is the number of images (20) – and the time you have for each slide (20 seconds each). So you are limited to 400 seconds, or 6 minutes 40 seconds.
But beyond that there aren’t that many restrictions. No subject is off limits, all points of view allowed, It will be you, your subject, and the audience. So, you can come to vent, promote, posture, or proselytize.
Remember, PK is all about being creative – how you show something is as important as in what you show.
Some of the things allowed include… talking, singing, hopping around on one leg, remaining silent, letting your puppet do the talking… not that we expect you to do all/any of that. Just letting you know that those options are out there…

The selection process:
Even though we would like to accommodate everyone who wants to present, the time constraints limit us to 20 presentations on the first PK Night. A panel* made up of artists, designers, and architects from point8, AIA and Winthrop will be selecting the 20 presenters.
The presenters will be selected based on the quality of the entries, the originality of the theme/ideas submitted. We would also be attempting to ensure the widest variety of media and people in the range of presentations on each PK Night.
