COLUMBIA, Md. (PRWEB) March 08, 2018
Global design and BIM software developer Vectorworks, Inc. sponsored the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival (KCACTF) for the second year and congratulates the winners of each region for their recognition as emerging entertainment design professionals.
Eight regional festivals took place from January 9 to March 3, 2018 and included workshops, discussions, regional-level scholarships and award programs, which allowed students the chance to present their best productions and receive feedback from professionals.
For each of the regional festivals, a winner in the Design, Technology and Management category received a professional license of Vectorworks Spotlight 2018 software. Entries were evaluated and chosen based on excellence, efficiency, innovation and visual presentation techniques.
"Year after year, the KCACTF Regional Awards produces impressive and inspiring projects," said Alice Lowy, marketing programs director at Vectorworks. "We jumped at the chance to be a sponsor again this year, as we believe it's important to empower and support young designers who are beginning their professional careers."
