Recruit elite practitioners to compete or teach.
Attach a meaningful prize to increase attention.
Celebrate roles that receive less public recognition.
Keep each spectacle connected to Pavilion's educational offering.

Invite strong practitioners to compete publicly.
Define the judging method before the event.
Use real performance metrics where practical.
Convert competition publicity into interest in Pavilion.

The expert would debrief the founder with positive and constructive feedback.
