Canada - The international announcement of the premier of the World Stage Design 2005 received a positive response at the 2003 Prague Quadrennial, which was held in June. So far nearly 200 designers from 33 countries have indicated plans to have their work shown at the exhibition, which is to be held in Toronto during March 2005. The organizers hope to have many more designers exhibiting by the entry deadline of 30 June 2004.

Designers can complete the entry process on the WSD2005 website, where they will find information and details of the exhibition, entry documents, they can also obtain a unique ID number and upload digital images.

The WSD2005 is a joint project of the United States Institute for Theatre Technology (USITT), the Canadian Institute for Theatre Technology (CITT), and the International Organization of Scenographers, Technicians and Architects of Theatre (OISTAT). This new international design exhibition will be mounted concurrently with the 2005 OISTAT World Congress and the 2005 USITT conference and stage expo, also to be held in Toronto during March 2005.

WSD2005 is open to all individual theatrical designers and composers throughout the world. Every entrant will have his or her work presented on interactive computer kiosks and large format video screens in the Digital Exhibition section of the show. Following the deadline on the 30 June 2004, an international jury will review all the entries and select a group of designers and composers who will be invited to formerly present their work in the Physical WSD Gallery Exhibition or to have their sound scores playing in the exhibit environment. At this point a second international jury will view the designers' work and individual medals and cash prizes will be awarded.
