You can apply now for ETC's LDI Student Sponsorship, which awards deserving students an all expenses paid trip to the LDI 2013 tradeshow, to be held in November 2013, in Las Vegas.
Entrants must be master's or PhD candidates, or in their final year of university (or equivalent) study, and studying lighting design, theatre technology or a related field. The application - available at www.etcconnect.com/LDISponsorship - takes about 15 minutes to complete. All applications must be received by 10 May 2013.
ETC will choose six finalists: five from North America and one internationally. Recipients each get round trip airfare, hotel accommodations, meals, a full LDI conference pass and exclusive swag, with all costs covered by ETC.
Sponsorship students are given behind-the-scenes access to ETC's LDI stand to see the newest additions to ETC's award-winning line of lighting equipment, and are given one-on-one mentorship by well-known professionals who provide advice, encouragement and guidance, beginning at LDI and continuing into the future.
Another highlight is the ETC-hosted student reception, where sponsorship recipients can network with prominent designers, employers, consultants, educators, journalists and more.
Programme alumnus David Johnson describes his experience at LDI 2012: "The opportunities the scholarship has offered me - and the connections I made - will serve me very well as I move out into the wider working world of lighting design. It's great to know that companies as big as ETC take the development of young lighting professionals seriously."
