A competition tries to elevate the dreaded PowerPoint presentation to an artful endeavor, but many participants poke fun at the program instead of exploiting its features. The real challenge obviously lies in bullet point number two.

PowerPoint to the People™ is a two-part competition that follows artists, designers, and purveyors of the digital pitch right to the limits of the unintended. Expect to see innovative works that:

• elegantly overcome the dead weight of content, or
• through sheer visual verve rise above the exacting limitations of presentation software.
