2025 IESNYC Student Lighting Competition Seeks Entries
The IESNYC once again invites students from New York City art and design schools to participate in its annual Student lighting Competition, emphasizing the significance of lighting in shaping the built environment. The 2025 challenge, “A Sight for Sore Eyes,” asks students to share an eyesore experience and construct a three-dimensional study to solve the visual discomfort of viewers. Thoughtful design considers the comfort of the viewer while delivering the proper light for the application.
Students enrolled in design, engineering, or architecture programs at colleges or universities in the five boroughs of New York City—or the New York counties of the former Mid-Hudson Section (Columbia, Dutchess, Green, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster, and Westchester)—are eligible to submit, regardless of residency.
The 2025 Student Lighting Competition will be held at LEDucation, March 18 to 19, at the New York Hilton Midtown in New York City. Attendees will have the opportunity to review the students’ projects during the two-day event. The awards ceremony is scheduled for Tuesday, March 18, at 5 p.m. Please visit https://iesnyc.org/Student_Competition for more information.
