Basically PechaKucha is a presentation style in which 20 slides are shown for 20 seconds each on a screen - which means only six minutes and 40 seconds in total for each presentation. The slides are changed automatically (configure it in your presentation program). This fast change leads to a better connection of visual audible content and encourages presentors to use visual content in a more creative way.

A winner presentation might be elected by the audience.
