Awards Ceremony Details - READ THIS!
Tomorrow is the final demos and awards ceremony! Hopefully after you submit tonight you'll be able to get some sleep so you're well rested for the presentations. I strongly recommend practicing your presentation because this is a considerable part of the judging and the experience.
Practice Presentations
You will have the opportunity to do a practice presentation tomorrow between 10:30am and 4:00pm. This is a final dress rehearsal so be prepared with what you're going to say. If you need to pre-load any additional demo assets or confirm that your demo is working, this is your ONLY opportunity. Sign up now for a practice slot.
Demo Devices
For your presentation, you'll have the ability to display two devices simultaneously with one of the following configurations:
- iPhone 6S in portrait mode with Apple TV next to it
- iPhone 6S in portrait mode with Apple Watch using an Elmo projector next to it
- iPhone 6S in portrait mode with OS X (for web or Mac apps) next to it
- iPhone 6S in either orientation with no other devices displayed at the same time
- iPad Air in either orientation with no other devices displayed at the same time
- OS X with no other devices displayed at the same time
I strongly recommend that you display from an actual device instead of the simulator. Please let us know if you have any specific demo conditions. If you need audio for your demo, please let us know.
Monday Night Agenda
The Awards Ceremony starts at 7:30pm so make sure that you're on time. I'll send out the team order later tonight but plan on attending the entire event. If you need to go in a certain position because you have a conflict with class, please let us know at challenge@apple.com as soon as possible.
We'll start with a brief intro and then each team will present their project. You'll walk on stage, tap your app icon on the device where it is already pre-loaded for you and talk about your app. No keynotes, slides, etc. You will have TWO MINUTES to present.
We will hopefully have an ASL interpreter available as well.
Invite your friends!
Make sure to invite all of your friends and professors to come cheer you on! We'll have cookies from Insomnia Cookies and a raffle for Apple t-shirts. They'll also be able to vote for their favorite app but you must be present to vote.
