Designers

Showcasing your design work through this opportunity allows you to connect with producers, artistic directors, and directors from our PACT member companies, as well as professional companies operating under CAEA (Canadian Actors’ Equity Association) contracts. 

During your appointment, you can either showcase 3-4 individual examples of existing work in your portfolio or you may choose to respond to one of the design prompts we’ll provide (. After your presentation, the panel will engage with you through a brief Q&A to learn more about your creative process and vision.

Deadline: November 23, 2026

Designer Presentations

For your design presentation, you can either:

1- Present 3-4 individual design samples (i.e. lighting state, garment sketch, etc.) from past productions taken from your portfolio. These can be from different productions or multiple designs from the same show—whichever best highlights your skills and style! Remember you only have 10 minutes total, so please stick to 3-4 examples and keep it concise. 

OR

2- Select one of the three prompts provided (available soon on this page). Your response does not have to be a fully realized design—it can take the form of a concept, mood board, or demo.  Focus on conveying your inspiration, vision, and how it connects to the prompt you’ve chosen. We are looking to see a glimpse of your creative process, but make sure to leave room for questions and discussion.
