CATEGORIES

Type A: INTERIOR SPACE LIGHTINGS

This type of competition aims to evaluate those photograph images in which artificial light adds emotion value, formal expression and aesthetic for any interior space. The proposal is to reflect the different formal expression visually that can be generated by playing with artificial light and space, always from a vision of mutual reinforcement of the intrinsic values of the architecture.

Type B: ARCHITECTURAL LIGHTING

This type of competition focuses its interest in outdoor lighting of buildings, urban elements and objects. The presence of artificial light in cities during the night singles give value to the objects and buildings that have become iconic pieces of architecture, which define the unique and characteristic city spirit.

We want to express the ability of transformation, change and new reality that artificial lighting contributes to the objects that make up the cities. It is not a mechanical exercise of visual documentation but a critical exercise on the ability to intervene in the world of perception and formal significance generated by a particular illuminated "form".

Type C: LANDSCAPE AND MONUMENTAL ILLUMINATION

This type of competition focuses on the role of artificial light at night landscape of cities; from the lighting of monuments, parks, gardens and avenues to the Skyline of the city. Understanding the landscape as the global result interacts between the characteristic features of the city and the artificial light. The symbolic value and ability to thrill the observer has the urban elements and the night landscape is only understandable from involvement with artificial light, which has been evolving since the late nineteenth century, providing new ways to express and transform the landscape night of cities.
