In order to compete, each school must:
- Complete the intent to participate and indicate TECH as an event for your school.
- Register your Tech Olympic Team during the official registration period on the registration website.

One team of 1-8 members per school is allowed. A team member completes in one or more of the following events:
- Audio
- Lighting
- Props
- Carpentry
- Costumes
- Stage management
- Hair and Make-up
- Rigging
Specific tasks for each of these categories are not revealed until the team competes.
Schools must sign-up for a start time for Tech Olympics. (Sign-ups will be available at a later date.) You will receive a Remind text notification once time slots are available.
Tech Portfolios
Students can enter their technical and/or design portfolios for review by professionals at the competition and receive a written and verbal evaluation. Each school is allowed 3 entries.
Students will submit a PDF version of their portfolio to the Tech Competition which will then be uploaded to a website. Students’ work will be displayed digitally throughout the competition as well as during their interviews.
The PDFs must be a portfolio of work showing the student’s design/technical skills. It should include a resume and any pertinent draftings, renderings, models, photos, sketches, and research designs. Please include high resolution images of three-dimensional items (i.e. costumes, models, etc.) including multiple angles as there will be no physical displays or spaces available.
By entering the Portfolio Presentation Competition students acknowledge that their portfolios may be used during a Tech Portfolio Workshop.
Students will sign up for a time to present their portfolio to the panel of judges. This interview does not affect the portfolio’s score. (Sign-ups will be available at a later date.)
