Pitch 200
Pitch 200 is an engineering competition with a difference.
Established as part of our bicentenary year in 2018, the Pitch 200 competition returns in 2019 to show how civil engineers transform lives and by doing so, encourage the next generation into the profession.
Different to many other ICE competitions, Pitch 200 draws on engineers’ creativity to demonstrate an aspect of civil engineering to a public audience – and you only have 200 seconds to do it.
Members at every level have the opportunity to submit a presentation in the weirdest, wackiest and most unconventional way using anything at their disposal to explain their chosen idea.
Entering Pitch 200 gives you a great chance to:
- Promote civil engineering as an exciting industry to the public, your area of research/ practice and the variety and diversity of jobs within the profession
- Develop your skills and confidence in public speaking
- Demonstrate your talent to the engineering community and peers
- Become ICE Regional Ambassador for 2020 (providing a ‘money can’t buy’ prize that greatly increases the profile and contacts of the winner)
Initial entries are a 60 second video summary of what your full presentation would be, and can be based on your own work, discipline or another aspect on civil engineering that fascinates you. It can be adapted from project reports, university/ employment research papers or something entirely new.
Take a look at the final presentations from last year's competition.
The South West Region Pitch 200 is open to all current ICE members who live, work or study in the South West region.
To enter, you need to complete and send the Pitch 200 entry form and a 60 second summary video to [email protected] by 5 pm, 16 May 2019.
Those shortlisted for the regional final in Bristol on 4 July will be notified by 30 May.
The regional winner will become the ICE South West Regional Ambassador for 2020 and will be shortlisted for the Pitch 200 Finale where the overall ICE Ambassador for 2020 will be awarded.
