Last call for applications for the LUCI/Philips city.people.light award 2010!
Send your entry for the Philips/LUCI city.people.light award 2010 before the 30th of July
The objective of the award is to recognize cities that bring together the notions of ‘city’, ‘people’ and ‘light’ through innovative and relevant lighting solutions which attempt to re-humanize the urban landscape whilst at the same time exploring ways to respect the environment.
The presentation of the award should help to raise awareness amongst city authorities and urban architects of the advantages that sustainable urban lighting brings to a city.
Projects will be judged by an independent jury according to: the context of the project, environmental integration, the timescale of the project, finance, the project team, added value and the overall quality of entry.
Only permanent lighting installations that are visible to all citizens free of charge can be considered and entered lighting projects must have been completed less than two years prior to application.
Three towns or cities will be awarded for their projects and the first prize will consist of a trophy and a cheque for €10.000. The award ceremony will take place in Chartres, France, during the LUCI Annual General Meeting in September 2010.
Last years winners were Jyväskylä (first prize), Hangzhou and Lachen (joint second prize).
All entries must be received in English by 30 July 2010.
