The objective of the competition is to award a prize to companies and professional designers who work on designing visionary lighting under the aspect of energy efficiency. The competition also wants to award prizes to and promote talented new designers, who develop visions for the future with lighting designs. The subject of energy efficiency also plays a decisive role here.

Energy-saving light fixtures or lighting systems for home or commercial uses with a new or visionary design are being sought after. This could be any type of luminaires, which stands out from the rest because of its design or which reinterprets the space in which it is being used. In conjunction with the worldwide discussions on climate, the competition organizers are interested in energy efficiency and this factor will be given special consideration during the evaluation of the products and visionary designs.

This competition is a possibility for new upcoming designers to introduce themselves in the industry and to use the award to point out their design abilities.

Organizers are Messe Frankfurt and the German Design Council. The entry form can be downloaded here.
