IALD Emerging Lighting Design Professionals Initiative: Apply Now
October 10, 2016
To help facilitate the educational development of emerging lighting design professionals, the Lighting Industry Resource Council (LIRC) is continuing to financially support designers within their first five years of on-the-job practice to attend IALD Enlighten Americas or IALD Enlighten Europe.
Applicants are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, and participants are encouraged to apply early, as program funds are limited. To ensure the greatest possible participation in this initiative, the first two applicants per lighting design firm will be accepted; subsequent designers from the same firm will be added to a waitlist and may be supported at a later date based on industry interest and as funds permit.
What you’ll get
Each emerging lighting designer will receive
- one full conference registration
- an allowance to offset travel expenses
- one ticket to the Emerging Lighting Design Professionals Initiative reception
- recognition at the conference as an Emerging Lighting Design Professional
How to qualify
To qualify for aid from the program, applicants must be
- within their first five years of professional, on-the-job practice as an architectural lighting designer
- a Junior Associate or Associate member of the IALD [or have membership pending review at the time of application to this initiative]
- a first-time full conference IALD Enlighten attendee (applicants who attended an IALD Enlighten in the past as a student are eligible to participate)
The first two qualified applicants from each lighting design firm are eligible for the program. Any subsequent applicants will be placed on a wait list and notified if funds are made available.
