Local Section AwardsIES Illumination Awards This is a great opportunity to get recognition for your work and your project(s)! Entries can only be made online, which greatly simplifies the submission process. Anyone, IES member or nonmember, may enter a project for an award. However, the lighting and controls designs of current members of the IES Illumination Awards Committee, IES Board of Directors and employees of the Society are not eligible until their term of office or IES Employment expires. The installation must have been completed during the 24 months preceding the January program date listed.
Program Overview The IES Illumination Awards (formerly the International Illumination Design Awards) provides a unique opportunity for public recognition of professionalism, ingenuity, and originality in lighting design based upon the individual merit of each entry judged against specific criteria.
Judges are selected from a broad professional spectrum that represents knowledge of lighting and design excellence. The judging system is based entirely on how well the lighting design does or does not meet the program criteria. This program is not a competition. The program is open to any qualified entrant without limitations as to professional affiliations. The Guth, Waterbury, Cutler, Energy and Environmental Design, and Control Innovation Awards are parallel programs created to recognize outstanding lighting design.
The Energy and Environmental Design Award The Energy and Environmental Design Award recognizes quality lighting installations in commercial and industrial buildings that incorporate advanced energy-saving strategies and environmentally responsible solutions into the overall design.
