Nemetschek Vectorworks Congratulates Karyn Lawrence, Winner of the 2012 Student Lighting Design CompetitionNemetschek Vectorworks, Inc. extends congratulations to Karyn Lawrence, winner of the iSquint.net and Stage Directions Student Lighting Design Competition (SLDC), sponsored by Nemetschek Vectorworks, City Theatrical, and Field Template. Lawrence is a student at University of California, Irvine completing an MFA in lighting design. Her entry of Abraham and Isaac in Jerusalem was a realized design, performed at the UC, Irvine Claire Trevor Theatre in September of 2010 under the direction of Dr. Robert Cohen. She will receive a prize package including a professional license of Vectorworks 2012 with Renderworks software, a personal license of Lightwright 5, and a single license of Field Template SoftSymbols V3. She will also receive copies of Light Plot Deconstructed by Gregg Hillmar and Entertainment and Lighting Design with Vectorworks Spotlight by Kevin Lee Allen. "I am so grateful for this opportunity!" said Lawrence. "I cannot express to you how essential Vectorworks and Lightwright are to my design process, any lighting designer's process for that matter. I can honestly say that I am not sure how I would go about designing without both of these invaluable programs. Vectorworks and Lightwright were key to keeping my show organized and updated. They also played an integral role in communication, specifically the lighting renderings, which were used by both the scenic designer and myself to communicate our ideas to the director." Entries were judged by a panel of industry experts including: lighting designer, writer, and editor Justin Lang from iSquint; software engineer and lighting design industry expert Kevin Linzey from Nemetschek Vectorworks; author and lighting designer Steve Shelley of Field Template, developer of SoftSymbols; lighting designer, author, and Vectorworks expert Gregg Hillmar; lighting and scenic designer and author Kevin Lee Allen; and lighting designer and developer of Lightwright, John McKernon.
