What the Live Championships are

The Live Championships are the on-site part of Amber Eyes. You carry out your work on the spot, in Gdansk, following the rules and the schedule of the competition you have chosen.

You can enter one competition or several - a single registration can cover several categories. You choose the level and the area that match your skills. You do not have to build your whole participation at once.

The detailed requirements of each competition - the format of the work, the equipment and how the competition runs - are set out in the Rules and Regulations.

What competing can give you

Competing is more than a result. Whatever place you take, taking part can become an important experience in your professional development.

You test your skills

You step outside the conditions of everyday work and take on a task set by the rules of a specific competition.

You gain new experience

Preparing for the entry, being at the event and the competition itself create an experience different from everyday work with a client.

You set yourself a clear goal

Competing can be the next stage of your development and a reason to work on a chosen skill.

You meet the industry

Amber Eyes is also a meeting place for contestants from Poland and abroad, for judges and - during the Conference - for speakers.

You gain a new perspective

Preparing to be judged against defined criteria lets you look at your own work differently than during everyday treatments.

You show your progress

Taking part in an industry event can become part of how you communicate your work as a professional.

Find your level

You are not competing against everyone. You compete in a group of people with similar experience.

Master

You perform treatments in this category but you do not train others.

Expert

You train, teach or work as an instructor in this category.

Open

Everyone competes together, regardless of experience.

A competition is held when there are at least 5 people in a group. If that number is not reached at your level, groups may be combined in line with the Rules and Regulations.

Competing for the first time?

This is exactly why the experience levels exist - you compete among people at a similar stage.

Wondering whether this is for you?

This will be my first time competing.

In every edition there are people doing this for the first time. The rules, the schedule and the requirements of your category are described in advance, so you can prepare calmly for everything that happens on site. Nothing is a surprise on the day.

I do not know whether I am good enough.

What is required is the qualification for the given category, not a feeling of being the best. The work is judged against published criteria, the same for everyone in the group.

I do not know which level to choose.

If you train, teach or work as an instructor in the category - Expert. If you perform treatments but do not train others - Master. In Open categories everyone competes together.

I do not know which competition to choose.

Start with the area you work in. Each area covers several competitions, so you can choose the one closest to your everyday work.
