Deadline for CLUE Competition Just Days Away

Deadline for CLUE Competition Just Days Away

 

January 6, 2016

The CLUE (Community Lighting for the Urban Environment) competition is open worldwide to upcoming professionals with five (5) years or less of experience. Students, individuals, trainees, or firms can participate. Deadline to register: January 30.

Now in its third year, the CLUE competition expects to further position itself inside the larger community of lighting professionals and continue on the route of being an internationally recognized leader in the design community. Therefore, CLUE has set itself the goal of encouraging and challenging young designers such as students (university & colleges) and emerging professionals (<5 years in their profession) to develop innovative lighting concepts for interior and exterior spaces, stimulate challenging ideas, and recognize individuals creating those ideas.

Theme for this year: One for light, light for all. Proposals should suit the context of a public space — interior or exterior — and should answer a social need while improving quality of life and having a positive impact on the community, all through the personalization of lighting. There are no budgetary or technological limitations, and candidates are given carte blanche to present inventive lighting solutions. Proposals will be evaluated on the relevance and the originality of their approach.

“Even as technology keeps advancing, in lighting as in other fields, the world we live in becomes ever more homogenized. The techniques at our disposal (LED lighting, control over intensity or color, preprogrammed lighting schemes, etc…) give us the feeling of a personalized environment, but only within the limits of our own private space. Everyone can live this experience—at home. But when we cross the threshold of our front door, what happens then?”
