LUCI Cities & Lighting Awards

About

On the occasion of its 20th anniversary, LUCI Association, the international network of cities on urban lighting, is pleased to announce the LUCI Cities & Lighting Awards.

Designed for cities and local authorities, the LUCI Cities & Lighting Awards recognise, every two years, urban lighting projects that reflect the multi-disciplinary nature of urban lighting and show a positive impact on economic, social, and cultural development. They celebrate cities that have driven projects with the ultimate aim to improve sustainability and quality of life.

The inaugural ceremony will be organised during the LUCI AGM Busan (South Korea) 19-22 October 2022.

Why Apply?  

Winners will receive an award prize package and international recognition for their work in 2022 and 2023. Awarded projects will be highlighted as case studies within the Network’s communication channels, adding to the long term collective knowledge and insights to share with cities internationally.
