magazine announces the second annual A|L LIGHT & ARCHITECTURE DESIGN AWARDS honoring projects in the field of architectural lighting; open to both architects and lighting designers.
Unlike other programs, the A|L DESIGN AWARDS first recognize and reward excellent designs within the unique criteria of a specific category (Corporate/Institutional; Entertainment/Cultural; Healthcare; Hospitality; Outdoor; Residential; Retail; and Transportation). Then for exceptional accomplishments, A|L will award the A|L Virtuous Achievement (ALVA) Awards to acknowledge projects that achieve the best lighting design on a budget; the best design in a LEED-rated building; the best incorporation of daylight; and the best use of color. A|L believes these final four categories are increasingly important considerations for its readers, and therefore hopes to identify and showcase successful examples. All projects will be published in the July/August issue of A|L and be featured on archlighting.com.

Design professionals practicing in the Unites States, Canada, or Mexico may enter one or more submissions. Projects need not be located in those countries, however. Projects must be completed after July 2004. A downloadable entry form is available at www.archlighting.com
