Win up to $8500 and Travel Opportunities with CLUE Award for Innovative Lighting Design 2019

CLUE (Community Lighting for the Urban Environment) has launched its 5th edition annual competition under the theme of Light & Disruption to explore how light can help to prevent challenging situations and crisis or manage emergencies when they occur. This year, CLUE is encouraging young students and professionals to imagine the ways in which lighting can make a difference and is asking contributors to think of how illumination can help to anticipate and address problems before they even start - as well as the way in which it might assist during an incident. How can light help the people affected by a crisis? What role can it play in aiding emergency responders? And how can it help in the aftermath of an incident?
