This thorough evaluation process ensures that all projects are assessed on the excellence of the lighting design as a whole rather than relying solely on possibly misleading photographic evidence. The long list is compiled by the judging panel from written and photographic submissions put together by all the entrants.
The presentation ceremony of the Lighting Design Awards takes place at the London Hilton Hotel on Park Lane on Thursday 15 March 2007. The black-tie ceremony is a highlight of the lighting industry's calendar. The Lighting Design Awards is organised by Emap, the publisher of Lighting magazine, and the Institution of Lighting Engineers. They are supported by the Lighting Industry Federation and PLASA.
