Enlighten

As part of International Year of Light activities, the Emerging Professionals Group within the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) has launched a photo competition geared toward IES members who are students and emerging professionals. Running through the end of July 2015, each month a different photo theme will be announced.

Participants are asked to post their images via either one of two social media platforms — Twitter or Instagram — or by email (iesnaep@gmail.com). Photos must coordinate within the given month’s theme to be eligible for consideration. All photos must include the following hashtags: #IYL2015, #IESNA, #enLIGHTen, #PhotoContest, and #themeofthemonth (see below for the April theme.) Winners will be announced on August 15, 2015, and the top three entries will be selected by a group of lighting industry professional for the grand prize, three sponsorships for three young designers to attend the 2015 IES Annual Conference.

April photo theme: #APRILSHOWERS. Share lighting-inspired photos addressing the subjects of #water and #light on @Twitter or @Instagram with the following hashtags: #IYL2015, #IESNA, #PHOTOCONTEST, and #APRILSHOWERS. Find out more: https://www.flickr.com/groups/enlighten/.
