No. All participation is covered by your Festival Conference registration fee. 

Dimensional pieces are only allowed for entries in the Allied Design and Technology category. In the DTM Expo: Design exhibits, the view of other panels and the walkways between panels must not be obstructed in any way.

Scenic design models in ⅛" or ¼" scale are permitted, larger sizes must be pre-approved by the DTM Chairs.

It is suggested that designers provide their own simple devices for mounting models to the polystyrene display walls. Integrated shelves for models or pockets to hold notebooks or bibles onto the panels will be allowed, so long as they remain structural and not decorative. When available, music stands will be provided for these items.

If you bring a ½" scale model or other three - dimensional piece, you may be asked to display the piece in a location away from your panel, this could include large puppets.

No, you must use the panels provided to maintain uniformity and equity in the DTM EXPO.

No, panels should not be covered with fabric, wallpaper, plastic, or any material other than your work.

No. You must inform the DTM Chairs prior to the Festival Conference, including the name and contact information for the person from your school who will be in charge of the set up, maintenance, and strike of your materials. There must be a representative from your school who will attend the Response session for you. If this person is different from the person bringing your materials, the DTM Chairs need their name and contact information as well. 

Be advised that designers in national-eligible events must be present for response sessions to be selected to attend the national festival.

No. Even though your design did not make it to the final round, DTM Expo exhibits must be displayed for the entire duration of the Festival Conference. There are faculty/staff respondents preparing written critiques that will be sent to you shortly after the Festival Conference to give you additional feedback on your design.

No. You should have received an automated response telling you that you also need to complete a Design, Technology & Management Registration Form. The DTM form gives us the specifics of your project so that we can plan the EXPO exhibit space and schedule response sessions. If you didn't get an automated reminder, or if your school completed your Festival Conference registration for you, please also submit a DTM Registration on the DTM Registration page.
