Lighting Council Australia has opened nominations for next year’s National Awards for Excellence in Lighting.
The Council is seeking nominations of individuals or companies that have excelled in various lighting-related areas
The awards will be handed out in June next year at an event in Hyde Park, Sydney.
Awards will be handed out across nine categories, covering areas such as environmental sustainability, the deployment of lighting within building automation systems, and excellence in public or street lighting.
Other award categories cover smart lighting and IoT projects, as well as to individuals or companies that have demonstrated outstanding engagement with industry peers, and to those making an outstanding contribution to lighting-based standards.
The award categories also include a Young Achievement Award open to individuals under the age of 35, a best small business award open to companies with an annual turnover of under $10 million, and an overall innovation award.
