Wang Zhuo, Secretary-General of the China Lighting Association, hosted the event and introduced the plan for the "2023 China International Lighting/Luminaire Design Competition". Registration for the 2023 competition opens today and will close in early September. The main competition categories remain divided into Physical Product and Conceptual Design, with two special tracks: Agricultural Lighting and Landscape lighting , providing a platform to showcase outstanding design works in specialized fields.
Since its inception in 2011, the competition has gained considerable influence in the industry and has played a positive role in enhancing original lighting design capabilities. Currently, lighting/luminaire design is evolving towards integration, intelligence, health orientation, and systematization. In line with these trends, this year's competition introduces the new connotation of "I Light": drawing on the homophone of the English letter "I" as "love," it reflects the passion and enthusiasm of organizers and participants for lighting—loving lighting, loving light; "I" represents "me," I emit light, I guide with light. Meanwhile, words starting with the letter "I" further elucidate industry hotspots and trends: Invention (innovative, creative lighting); Integrative (comprehensive, holistic lighting); Intelligence (smart, intelligent lighting); infinite (limitless possibilities across various fields), injecting new vitality into the competition.
The "China International Lighting/Luminaire Design Competition" is an important sub-project of the national Green lighting Phase III international project, supported by the National Development and Reform Commission, the United Nations Development Programme, and the Global Environment Facility. The competition aims to promote original products and design concepts in the industry, leading continuous progress in independent innovation and technical standards. Over the past eleven editions, nearly 4,000 entries were received from over a thousand organizations and individuals, fully reflecting technological changes and design trends in the lighting industry, and playing a positive leading and promoting role in enhancing the overall design level of luminaire products in China's lighting industry.For more information about the 2023 competition, please follow the competition's WeChat official account in a timely manner.
