(UK) – The [d]arc awards, an international event celebrating excellence in lighting design, has opened entries for its 2025 edition.

The awards recognise projects and products across the lighting industry, with eligibility extending to lighting designers, architects, interior designers, and product designers. Once a shortlist is created by an international jury, independent designers and architects are invited to vote for their preferred projects and products. This peer-to-peer voting process is what distinguishes the [d]arc awards within the sector.

This year also marks the continuation of the “Best of the Best” category, awarded to the most highly regarded entry across all categories.

The 2024 edition included a celebratory event at Woolwich Works in London, attended by professionals from across the global lighting community.

Organisers highlight that the awards not only showcase innovation in lighting but also provide a platform for industry networking and visibility. Sponsorship opportunities remain available for organisations seeking to align with the event.
