(Global) – The countdown is on for the 2025 [d]arc awards! Take this as a final reminder that the 11 December deadline is approaching for all, including the interior design, decorative lighting, and artistic installation sectors.

This year’s programme features three key categories for decorative lighting and design community to enter:

Best Interior Lighting Scheme – Low / High Budget

Open to any indoor lighting scheme, spanning commercial, retail, residential, and hospitality projects, this category welcomes both decorative and architectural luminaires.

• Low Budget: luminaires valued under £30,000
• High Budget: luminaires valued over £30,000

Kit – Decorative

A category tailored to product designers and manufacturers, recognising outstanding decorative lighting products for both interior and exterior use. Previous winners include notable names such as Flos, Vibia, and Jonathan Coles.

Art – Bespoke

Celebrating sculptural lighting installations, this category is open to both permanent and temporary works with no budget restrictions. Entries are judged on creativity, innovation, and craftsmanship.

Once entries close, an international jury will be announced, who will shortlist the entries before the global design community votes for their winners. The champions will then be honoured at the legendary [d]arc awards night in London, equipped with a free bar, food vendors, and a late-night party.

The awards provide designers and studios with a valuable platform for increased visibility, industry recognition, and new professional opportunities. Plus, everyone is a winner when entering the [d]arc awards, with every entry featured on the awards’ website, and short listers have a lifetime complimentary entry in the [d]arc awards directory.
