Eaton has issued a call for entries for its 41st Annual Source Awards lighting design competition. Recognizing and honouring the bright future of the lighting design industry, the awards are part of Eaton’s commitment to building the pipeline of lighting design talent.

University students studying architecture, design, engineering or related disciplines are invited to enter projects based on conceptual lighting designs, and will be judged on creativity and how Eaton’s lighting and controls products are used in conceptual spaces. The deadline to submit entries is February 28, 2018.

Since its inception, the SOURCE Awards competition has granted nearly US$1 million to winners as well as industry-wide recognition for their efforts. Past entry applications have included commercial offices, retail stores, galleries, museums, libraries, banks, restaurants, convention centres, entertainment facilities and residences.

“For more than 40 years, the Source Awards have helped bolster the pipeline of future lighting designers entering the industry,” says Kraig Kasler, president, Eaton’s Lighting Division. “We look forward to another year of seeing the many high-quality, creative and functional lighting designs submitted by the talented students who are the next generation of our industry.”
