Who are the jury?

For each round of the competition a jury composed of four Guest Faculty, including former PCR's Got Talent awardees, is in charge of judging the contestant's work and performance.

✨An innovative educational format

PCR’s Got Talent goes far beyond the traditional abstract presentation. Participants benefit from professional coaching between rounds, gaining valuable insight into both content and delivery. The competition opens with a demanding three-minute elevator-pitch presentation, limited to just three slides. Those who succeed in engaging the jury and audience progress to subsequent rounds, where they are granted more time and the opportunity to use additional slides.

Throughout the competition, each presenter’s work and on-stage performance are evaluated by audience vote, creating a dynamic and convivial atmosphere. This unique experience offers an exceptional opportunity to receive high-level professional guidance on how to distil complex ideas and communicate them with maximum impact. The skills and advice gained extend well beyond PCR’s Got Talent, benefiting all future presentations throughout your career.
