USA - Martin Professional gave LightJockey users a chance to show their stuff in the recent LightJockey design contest. Winners of the competition were recently announced at a special ceremony at the LDI show in Orlando. Martin's panel of six judges was almost unanimous in their decision on the most creative designs. The Grand Prize winner was James Barclay, owner of Main Show Lighting in Dallas, Texas. James wins $5000 of Martin gear and a trip to Denmark to tour the new Martin factory.

Second place went to Sean Reilly of Effects Lights & Sound of Lake Worth, Florida. Sean also won a trip to Denmark to tour the Martin factory. Honorable mention went to Jose Luis Arana Aguilar of Luminica of Guadalajara, Mexico. Both James and Sean were on hand at LDI to accept their prizes.

Using the Windows based Martin LightJockey controller software, entrants were asked to design a creative three-minute light show, coded to music. Designs had to be based on one of three digital format songs made available on the Martin US website.
