Pitch 200
Pitch 200 is an engineering competition with a difference.
As one of the four core national activities for ICE 200, this competition is an opportunity to show the general public how civil engineers transform their lives directly in order to encourage the next generation into the profession.
Different to many of the other ICE competitions, Pitch 200 draws on engineers creativity to demonstrate a particular 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 your chosen idea.
Entering the 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 2019 (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.
The regional winner will be shortlisted for the Pitch 200 Final where the overall ICE Ambassador for 2019 will be awarded.
The South West regional Pitch 200, supported by Burges Salmon, is open to all current ICE members who live, work or study in the South West.
To enter, you just need to complete and send the Pitch 200 Entry Form and 60 second summary video to ice.southwest@ice.org.uk by 22 December 2017.
