The IES Orange County Section recognizes excellence in the field of lighting design by annually sponsoring various awards programs.
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. Visit https://ia.ies.org for more information.
