The Illuminating Engineering Society opens submissions Dec. 1 for its 2026 Illumination Awards. The IES Illumination Awards program recognizes individuals for professionalism, ingenuity and originality in lighting design based on the individual merit of each entry.
Judges are selected from a broad professional spectrum representing knowledge of lighting and design excellence. The judging system is entirely based on how well the lighting design meets the program criteria. The Illumination Awards program is not a competition.
Early bird submission dates are Dec. 1-21. Regular submission dates are Dec. 21-Jan. 30. To learn more, visit https://iesilluminationawards.secure-platform.com/a/.
