Rules & Formats /
These are the basic rules for Pecha Kucha
Pecha Kucha is a lot of fun for short attention fragments. We welcome a broad mix of participants, from well-known professionals to students, recent graduates, and new firms presenting their work for the first time. Come thirsty and bring along your friends! Presentation: Each person shows 20 images. You have 20 seconds to show each image. You have no control over this. This results in a total presentation time of 6 minutes 40 seconds on a stage before the next presenter is up. Formats: 20 images in JPEG format (size: 1024 x 768 px., landscape orientation). Keep your images under 450 KB each (already compressed). Video: Video presentations MUST be 6 minutes 40 seconds in total length. Video should not have any audio. They should be placed into a 1024 x 768 size. Videos MUST be delivered as .MOV files using any of the following codecs (Animation, Mpeg-4 Video, H.264 or Photo-JPG). Naming: Name your images with your initials followed by consecutive numbers, i.e. PJ-001.jpg, PJ-002.jpg, PJ-003.jpg, etc. Please practice your presentation beforehand to make sure your slides are named correctly. Please follow the format, if you don't name your images correctly the computer will order them in a wrong way and it can affect your presentation. This also makes it easier for us to run the show and handle a large amount of images.
