What is the 40 Under 40?

The 40 under 40 is a unique annual competition to select young and outstanding individuals who work in a creative capacity with the application of lighting in architecture. Candidates should be passionate about lighting and display outstanding talent and potential, and have demonstrable achievements in the field.

In the past months Light Collective and Filix have been working extensively to bring back one of the most unique annual competition to select young and outstanding individuals who work in a creative capacity with the application of lighting in architecture. You are all invited to visit the new website 40under40 to honor the 2020 generation once more and nominate your candidates for the 2021 generation.
