IES Announces 2020 Illumination Award Winners

The IES Illumination Awards program recognizes individuals for professionalism, ingenuity, and originality in lighting design based on the individual merit of each entry. Judges are selected from a broad professional spectrum, representing knowledge of lighting and design excellence. The judging system is entirely based on how well the lighting design meets the program criteria. The Illumination Awards program is not a competition.

Out of 685 total submissions, IES distinguished 288 Merit Award Recipients and 12 Final Award Recipients.

The IES Illumination Awards were presented as the opening session to kick-off the 2020 Virtual Annual Conference.
