The kickoff will take place Thursday June 8th at a venue in Toronto to be announced.

The second part of the event is the competition itself. Participants will work in teams and design, build, and present their own luminaire to a panel of judges and prizes will be awarded to the top teams. Each team will be given a variety of materials to work with. Guidance and inspiration will be provided by mentors who will be available to assist when needed. The competition is an all-day event which is to take place Saturday June 17th at Acuity Brands 35 Minthorn Blvd, Thornhill ON L3T 7N5 which is a short distance southeast from the intersection of Leslie St. /Highway 7.
