Cooper Lighting SOURCE Awards Competition Call for Entries

Posted on September 6, 2013, 6:00 AM, by Craig DiLouie, under Awards.

Cooper Lighting recently announced it is now accepting entries for its 37th Annual SOURCE Awards national lighting design competition.

The competition, which focuses on furthering the understanding, knowledge and function of lighting as a primary element in design, is open to all lighting designers, architects, engineers, professional designers and consultants who use Cooper Lighting fixtures in interior or exterior design projects. Students currently enrolled in any of these disciplines are also eligible to enter projects based on conceptual lighting designs utilizing Cooper Lighting fixtures and will be judged in a separate student category.

This year’s competition will once again seek creative uses of fixtures providing energy-efficient design solutions in addition to standard projects. Projects will be judged on a combination of aesthetics, creativity, technical performance and the degree in which the lighting meets project constraints and design concept goals. Entries must be postmarked on or before January 31, 2014, and winners will be announced in June 2014 at LIGHTFAIR International in Las Vegas. There will be no minimum or maximum number of awards given, as each project will be judged on its own merit. Selected entries will earn the distinction of Winner, Honorable Mention or Award of Recognition.
