Required by THEATRICAL DESIGN nominees.
PORTFOLIO REQUIREMENTS
Create an online portfolio that showcases your design specialty.
-
Make sure to include your name on your website/portfolio.

Portfolio elements should showcase your thought process when designing a show. To do this, we STRONGLY ENCOURAGE you to include:
-
mood boards or other samples of your inspiration
-
design sketches

descriptions of the design intention
-
photos of the final product (for those designs that became produced show).
-
-
PRO TIP: Put your strongest work FIRST.
-
We encourage you to showcase designs from more than one show if possible.
-
Ultimately, the more information we have, the easier it will be to evaluate the artistic merits of your design process and choices.
-
If you want to showcase more than one design specialty, you may include all work on the same website.
ADDITIONAL VIDEOS/PORTFOLIO
The online application has space for two (2) additional links for videos or online portfolios/websites to showcase your talents BEYOND your primary specialty.
ALL LINKS MUST BE ACCESSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC.
No passwords/private sites.
CREATING YOUR ONLINE PORTFOLIO
You may use any online format that you feel comfortable using. Please make sure that whatever you work you share is accessible to viewers with a single click.
Portfolio online platforms to consider include:
-
Create a Google Slides slideshow (make sure when you share this link, under "General Access", it should be marked as "Anyone with the link" can be a "Viewer")
- OR -
-
Create a free website. Free website building sites include:
-
Please do NOT use Instagram to share your work. Some of the judges are not able to access Instagram when viewing your work while on school computers.

Please do NOT send a link to a folder with jpgs stored in them (i.e. a Google Drive folder, Dropbox folder, or other cloud based folder). The judges are not likely to open pictures one at a time.
