Awards
The IESANZ Lighting Awards program provides a unique opportunity for public and industry recognition of professionalism, ingenuity, and originality in lighting and luminaire design. This program is not a competition, but rather highlights excellence in lighting.
Judging is based upon the individual merit of each entry against specific criteria, and judges are selected from a broad professional spectrum that represents knowledge of lighting and design excellence. We also recognise other significant achievements through a range of national and international awards, including service to the industry.
