Universities are invited to enter as many teams as they like, of up to three students each. The competition takes place in two phases.

Phase One is an open competition and will consist of each team providing a performance lighting piece, programmed on a Hog you own or on Hog 4 PC.
This can be downloaded free of charge with a special demo version of Capture visualization, which will be made available to all teams.

Once performance piece submission closes on June 30th 2019, the top three teams will be selected by July 31st.
