AARHUS, Denmark — HARMAN’s Martin Professional today announced the
kickoff of their annual Young Lighting Designer Contest that offers aspiring LDs
from around the world a chance to have their work internationally recognized.
The winner will be awarded an all-inclusive trip to the Prolight+Sound 2015
show in Frankfurt, Germany, the Martin M-Touch™ controller and an M-PC kit. The
runner up also receives an M-Touch controller and third place wins an M-PC kit.
To enter, young LDs must design and program a DMX lightshow using M-PC
to a music track of their choice and submit a video recording to the Martin
Professional Facebook contest page. Contestants can share the video to their
own social networks and throughout the contest friends, colleagues, and other
Facebook users can vote for their favorite shows.
When the contest ends, the three shows with the most votes enter the
final stage of the contest. A panel of judges will then deliberate and pick the
final winner. The panel is made up of last year’s contest winner, Garou Blancan
and Martin’s Global Application Engineer, Theis Wermuth, as well as Senior
Product Specialist, Michael Feldmann, and Product Manager for Controllers, Paul
Pelletier.
“The contest was a major starting point in my
career as a professional lighting designer,” said Blancon. “Out of the many
opportunities that arose in the wake of the contest, there are two highlights:
I was given the opportunity to design
a tour for a Canadian artist from Quebec; Marie Elaine, and I also got to
design an architectural lighting system for the Rialto Theatre facade, which
was featured on the cover of a major industry publication.”
The 2015 winner will be announced at the Martin Prolight+Sound stand (Hall
9.0, Stand A93) on April 15th at 1 PM. Contestants have until March 30 to
submit their work.
