Guidelines
Technical Requirements
Strut Your Stuff will be presented online using Zoom. Familiarity with using a web camera is recommended. We may ask for a test run to assist you with your presentation.
- Lighting: Ability to present from a well-lit space. We recommend a Ring light or something similar. If it’s warm and the weather is clear, natural sunlight works well.
- Technology: You will need to have a webcam (via computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone).
- The Art Work: The art work must be something you made. When registering we will ask you to complete details about the piece for our announcer.
- Model: You will be modeling your own work for the show. Have fun with it. Allow yourself space to twirl and show your piece from every angle.
- Facilities: Your presentation should be able to be given from a space without interruptions (pets, children, television, etc.)
