Why apply?

At local or global level, the Awards show how cities are taking the lead to improve sustainability and quality of life through urban lighting projects.

The multi-disciplinary nature of urban lighting will be reflected through the Awards, that will also show the positive impacts on economic, social, and/or cultural development.

The Awards allow your work to be included within LUCI’s worldwide communication channels, adding to the long-term collective urban lighting knowledge and exchange of good practice.

Receiving a Cities & Lighting Award offers a chance to connect further with other cities, professionals, and organisations involved in urban lighting, facilitating knowledge exchange and collaboration.

The Awards provide visibility at the international level within the LUCI network and beyond , drawing attention to the city’s efforts. It also draws attention locally to the importance of urban lighting strategies, recognizing the hard work of a team and boosting morale in the celebration.
