2023 Marks the 50th Anniversary of the IA Awards

January 18, 2023

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.

The Illumination Award for Interior Lighting Design sponsored by Edwin F. Guth, the Illumination Award for Outdoor Lighting Design sponsored by Cooper Lighting Solutions, the Control Innovation Award sponsored by the Lighting Controls Association, and the Energy and Environmental Design Award are parallel programs created to recognize outstanding lighting design.

The IES Illumination Awards will be presented as the opening session to kick-off the 2022 Annual Conference. With Acuity Brands as the platinum sponsor, many projects from around the world will be recognized with this honorable distinction. Thank you to those that submitted and congratulations to all award recipients.
