International Light Art Award

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

On the occasion of UNESCO's International Year of Light , the innogy Foundation for Energy and Society and the Center for International Light Art Unna have launched a competition: the International Light Art Award . The competition focuses on new technologies, energy use and sustainability. A total of three finalists will have the opportunity to fully implement their ideas. In addition, the first place winners can expect prize money of 1,000 euros. The prize was first awarded in January 2015. The first winners were Martin Hesselmeier and Andreas Muxel from Cologne.

aims

The aim of the International Light Art Award is to show works by young artists who innovatively and creatively develop light art. The Center for International Light Art wants to offer as yet unknown light artists a platform for their works. So far, light art installations have mostly only been exhibited by well-known artists, as the implementation is expensive and technically demanding. The International Light Art Award gives three unknown artists the chance to present their works to the public.
