　　---Total Prizes Exceed 350,000 RMB, 2011's Most Impressive LED Industry Contest Kicks Off

　　Following the 2010 GG-LED Engineer Paper Contest that awarded 60,000 RMB to paper authors, the 2011 GG-LED Paper and Product Design Contest officially launched on February 1st. This year's total prize pool is 350,000 RMB, with a Mercedes SMART as the grand prize for the champion. The host, GG-LED CEO Zhang Xiaofei, stated that they hope to inspire the creative potential of LED engineers through the contest, thereby continuously improving our country's LED technology and LED lighting fixture design standards. The contest will be held annually, with prizes increasing each year.

　　Mercedes-Benz SMART joins the fray, with a 350,000 yuan prize challenging participants' expectations

　　According to reports, the biggest highlight of this competition is that the champion will receive a Mercedes-Benz SMART worth over 150,000 yuan. In addition to the champion, the organizers have set more generous prizes for other winners. The runner-up will receive a sedan worth over 60,000 yuan, while the second, third, and fourth place winners will receive cash prizes ranging in value from 20,000 yuan to 2,000 yuan. The total prize pool of the competition reaches 350,000 yuan, making it the most impressive competition in the LED industry in 2011.

　　The competition spans a long period, allowing participants ample time to prepare

　　Unlike the first Engineers' Competition, the 2011 Gaogong LED Engineers' Competition is divided into two preliminary stages, with each stage producing 10 candidate works (5 thesis works and 5 product design works) to advance to the finals. The competition spans a longer period of time, from February 1, 2011 when registration fully launches to December 10, covering nearly an entire year, giving engineers more ample time to prepare.

　　Adding product design competitions to comprehensively evaluate engineers' abilities

　　In order to comprehensively evaluate engineers' abilities from theory to practice, this competition has added a product design category in addition to continuing the original paper competition.

　　This edition's paper scope covers epitaxy, manufacturing processes, materials, chips, packaging, optics, drivers, power supplies, intelligent control, thermal management, reliability, lifespan, testing & measurement, inspection, etc., encompassing the entire LED industry chain.

　　The product design scope covers indoor and outdoor LED lighting fixtures that combine creativity and practicality.

　　Backed by domestic and international experts, with layer-by-layer selection, creating the highest-standard competition in the LED industry

　　The 2011 Gaogong LED Paper and Product Design Competition will invite international LED giants, industry elites from both sides of the strait and Hong Kong/Macau, and experts/scholars to form three major judging panels. Based on the principles of "fairness, openness, justice, and professionalism," works will be selected through multiple rounds via expert reviews, online voting, on-site presentations, and review meetings.

　　If the first GG-LED Essay Competition opened the martial arts gathering for industry engineers, then the debates at the 2011 LED industry gathering will be even more intense—masters face off, who else but me?
