Nine to six months prior to the event Uirtus Island government will seek out community partnerships and establish support from multiple stakeholders and provide on-going feedback. TV and radio stations will be utilised for promotions along with social media platforms. Call to actions for candidates will be organised to motivate inhabitants for the upcoming event. Sponsors will be collected to later provide for equipment we might need in the future such as food, drinks, funds, materials, etc. Those sponsors will be chosen based on their involvement with ecology, education and economics. Other important partners of The Great Inventum will be universities and colleges as they are in heavily invested with this event.

​

The next step in this time period is identifying potential members of different work and social groups that will help during the event. We have decided to collect students as volunteers first followed by engineers that will help design multiple attractions for our location along with concept designers. We cannot forget app-designers that will create a voting app for the talent show. There will also be special appearances from the 5th president of Uirtus Island. He will be handing out prestigious prizes for our finalists and winners. The media is another important partner that we will utilise. Creating awareness about The Great Inventum through national television, radio, (government website), news papers and social media will be a crucial part of our promoting period.

​

Six months prior to the event we shift the attention to the planning and framework. As mentioned before our talent show is mainly focused on inventions. We want to showcase the intelligence of our inhabitants through their ability to create objects that are ecological and innovative. Our goal is to motivate uirtians into displaying their talents to trigger self-development. We plan to convince them to participate on the show through a campaign, heavy in promotions all over the country (as mentioned on the paragraph above). The event will take place in our most prestigious University. Teachers and student will automatically volunteer and allowed to take part in the event as well. Thanks to our well-driven economy we can afford to spend a fairly big budget on this event. Not to mention the contribution of sponsors lessen the expenses. Considering the event is organised by the government there is no community support needed.

​

Three to four months into the preparation of our event it is time to confirm the performers. Candidates who take part in our talent show will have to go through a pre-selection to take part in the actual event. This pre-audition is an assessment based on the plan of the invention they wish to showcase during The Great Inventum. Engineers will look these plans over and select the ones they find the most interesting and realistic ones. The selected candidates will make it into the show and their invention will be broadcasted for the entire country to admire.

​

In the fourth month a security company will be selected for the upcoming show. This happens through committee members. Those same members will also look for an insurance company that will grant the participants security. But the insurance will not cover injuries caused by the contestant’s own inventions. However, any defects in the service provided by the venue will be recompensated.

​

As for the power requirements we will make sure to have the required power for all the inventions. This is also part of the reason why a plan of said inventions are asked in the first half of selections. It is important that the inventions do not consume an excessive amount of power. Otherwise we would not be able to provide it.

​

The remaining months before the event will be spend finalising every detail to make sure nothing is out of place when the event takes place. Several committee meetings will take place regarding issues such as safety, security, the run of the show, promotions and many more things. In this phase we will put the emphasis on communication between members of the committee, the government, partners and contestants. It’s important that information flows well behind the scenes for a successful event. Leading up to D-day communication will be the key of all operations. And once the long-awaited moment is finally here, we will hold one last meeting to brief everyone on what is expected of them. This includes the security team, volunteers, equipment team, etc.

​

Two weeks after the event has taken places comes time for the global evaluation of everything. Reports will be written by committee members and send to all those involved in this big project such as higher-ups (in the government), sponsors, universities, etc. Thank you, letters, will be send and achievements will be communicated to the entire community. But most importantly changes and remarks will be taken into account to plan next year’s Great Inventum.
