About the IALD Awards
Receiving an IALD Award is universally heralded as the top honor in the lighting design industry. Since its inception in 1983, the IALD International Lighting Design Awards has honored lighting design that reaches new heights, moves beyond the ordinary, and represents excellence in aesthetic and technical design achievement.
2024: The 41st Annual IALD International Lighting Design Awards
The IALD invites the entire lighting design industry to join us on Saturday, 19 October, as hundreds gather for IALD Enlighten Americas 2024 at the Rancho Bernardo Inn to celebrate the year's outstanding achievements and innovations in lighting design from around the globe.
Made possible by title sponsor Acuity Brands, the 41st IALD International Lighting Design Awards presentation is an unforgettable event and an invaluable opportunity for networking, inspiration, and recognition within the lighting design community. Members and non-members alike are encouraged to join us as we honor the remarkable projects and talented individuals who continue to push the boundaries of lighting design excellence.
Those unable to attend the festivities in person during EA24 will still have opportunities to celebrate alongside their peers. Building on the success of last year's events, many IALD Regions and Chapters will be hosting "watch parties" in cities worldwide.
In addition, a broadcast of the year's winning projects will stream simultaneously with the Enlighten live event on the IALD's social media channels.
