The first place student winner received a $500 Award & Professional Internship/Mentorship with ANDLIGHT, the emerging winner received the $1 000 Light Resource Award, and the established winner received the Inform Interiors $2,000 Grand Prize Award. Call for entries L AM P is preparing for its sixth annual international lighting design competition and is sending out a call for entries to designers worldwide to participate. The deadline to submit is January 31, 2019. L A M P aims to introduce a broader audience to lighting design while promoting and connect- ing emerging talents to new markets. Each year the competition challenges designers to approach their lighting fixtures with the guidance of a theme. The 2019 theme is TEXTURE. All submissions will be reviewed by some of the industry’s top profes- sionals, and the finalists from each category will be displayed at L A M P’s annual exhibition during IDS Vancouver's Offsite Programming. The three categories open for submissions include student, emerging and established design- ers. After reviewing all submissions, the esteemed panel of judges will make their decisions based on a set evaluation ranging from aesthetics, market- ability, innovation, and unique interpretation of the theme word.
