LAMP Design Competition Call for Entries

April 12, 2017

In preparation for its fifth competition and exhibition, LAMP has released its theme, eligibility criteria, and timelines.

LAMP aims to introduce a broader audience to lighting design while promoting and connecting emerging talents to new markets. Each year the competition challenges designers to approach their lighting fixtures with the guidance of a theme.

Competition finalists from around the world are showcased at the LAMP opening reception in Vancouver, BC. Shown in photo: a finalist from a previous competition.

New this year: LAMP has extended the overall timeframe, evolving from an annual to biannual competition and event. This will provide designers with time to fully execute their designs and prototypes for the entry deadline and exhibition, says LAMP. See the timelines below.

The theme for this year’s competition is balance. There are three categories:

  • Established — entrant’s business or professional design career has been active for a minimum of 3 years
