The International Convention Program

Video Billboards
Announce your message to the captive audience inside the competition venue via our 12' x 16' big screens next to the competition stage. Between performances, your message will be projected onto the screens for a minimum 20 seconds. The frequency of display will depend on the number of advertisers. Slides will also be shown throughout the Webcast on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. All slides must be in Microsoft Power Point On-Screen Format. Final screen resolution should be 1024 x 768. A total of two slides is allowed for $185. Additional slides can be purchased for a discounted price of $70 each.
