If you think you’ve got a bright idea for using LED lights in an interesting and novel way, the LED Emotionalize Your Light Contest wants your entry.
The competition is sponsored by Osram, a manufacturer of cutting edge technology in products related to lighting for home, business, and personal applications. Osram wants ideas that provide emotional LED solutions. Osram defines this as:
“…a special form of LED illumination designs which create an atmosphere that not only positively affects our wellbeing but also gives rise to moods and emotions…In turn, this energizing promotes health and wellness.”
Some recent entries have emphasized LED lighting for large scale use such as window and room lighting while others have gone the portable route with small devices that generate pleasant lighting patterns and colors.
The sky is the limit for your ideas and concepts. Entries do not have to be necessarily assembled or working, but can be conceptual in scope.
To send in your entry, click here to go to the registration website. The contest is conducted in two phases. Winning entries are selected in the first round by the judges and are critiqued on the quality, creativity, originality, and their feasibility in regards to following contest rules and parameters.
