Experience the Challenge and See Your Name In Lights! Elation Education Experience Contest Offers New Lighting Designers a Free Trip to the LDI Show in Orlando
Created in 2006 to encourage more young lighting designers and students to consider specializing in the House of Worship (HOW) market, the E3 contest is open to lighting students, lighting designers with less than three years’ experience, and volunteer or part-time workers in a HOW lighting department.
Interested applicants are required to complete an online form explaining why they represent the best of the future of HOW lighting, as well as submit a light plot for lighting a stage for a 3-camera shot application at a house of worship and a written description of what they want to accomplish with their installation. The online form may be accessed by clicking here. Once the entry form is accepted, applicants will receive a CAD file of the church stage with an inventory of the actual products that are to be used. The light plot can be done by hand or a CAD file in PDF. The church stage is based on a recently completed project by the lighting designer who will be judging the contest.
Co-sponsored by Technologies for Worship Magazine, the contest is open to all residents of North America who meet the eligibility requirements. All entries must be received by 5 PM Pacific time on Friday, October 2, 2009. There will be up to three winners, and they will be notified by Friday, October 16.
“The HOW market is very important to the lighting profession, and it offers great opportunities for young professionals to immerse themselves in meaningful and challenging projects,” said Eric Loader, Director of Sales for Elation Professional and Acclaim Lighting. “Elation believes strongly in the future of the HOW market and through the sponsorship of this contest, Elation and its sister company Acclaim Lighting are supporting its continued growth.”
The prize package includes round trip air fare to Orlando for the LDI show; hotel accommodations in Orlando; transportation to and from the airport; meals; $100 spending money; special participation in the Technologies for Worship Pavilion; dinner with lighting designers and executives from Elation Professional; a commemorative Elation Education Experience Trophy from Elation Professional and Technologies for Worship Magazine and a private tour of the Elation LED booth.
