Architectural lighting designers worldwide are invited to submit projects for the Call for Entries for the 2025 IALD International Lighting Design Awards.
Entry Dates and Fees
The early submission period is open, which gives an opportunity to save $50 on the standard entry fee!
NOTE: Entrants must have or create an account for the IALD digital platform to enter a project. Contact awards@iald.org with all inquiries.
Who Can Enter?:
Individual lighting designers and firms can submit eligible projects for award consideration regardless of IALD membership.

Preparing Your Entry:
The 2025 Call for Entries Handbook provides all the information on the IALD Awards submission process, including project eligibility, the requirements for submitted images and video, required materials release forms for that media, and best practices for submitting a project entry.

Project Poster Examples:
As mentioned in the Handbook, the project poster is the first visual asset judges will see, and should show the very best aspects of the project. Have a look at some posters from previous years' Radiance Award winners and take inspiration from them!
