Once again the Society of Light and Lighting is running the Young Lighters of the Year Competition to help encourage and promote young lighters working in the lighting business and profession.
The Competition provides a unique platform for young lighters, whether Society members or not, to address a lighting subject dear to their hearts, to practise their presentation skills and to win the considerable professional kudos of being chosen as a ‘Young Lighter of the Year’ as well as add the title to their CV.
Each of the four finalists receives a cash prize, a certificate and a free lighting publication. Cash prizes are donated by the Society of Light and Lighting, The Worshipful Company of Lightmongers and the Institution of Lighting Engineers.
If you are under 30 on 12 February 2008 you should consider entering. If you are an employer and know of someone please encourage them to enter the Competition.
Applicants can chose any lighting subject of their choice. Entries may be based on previously prepared work, such as a thesis, and must be capable of being presented in 15 minutes. Successful applicants will be expected to present their work, using visual aids as appropriate.
The outline timetable of events is as follows:
14 September 2007: closing dates for applications and 300 word synopses
1 October 2007: entrants notified whether they have reached the shortlist.
30 November 2007: closing date for submission of shortlisted entries
7 December 2007: four finalists notified so that they can prepare presentations
11February 2008 (date to be confirmed): four finalists present papers at a meeting of the Society of Light and Lighting at the ARC’08 Exhibition at the Business Design Centre, London.
Entrants can be given financial or practical assistance with the preparation of visual aids. Finalists can be given up to £150 financial assistance with travel and accommodation.
