L A M P 2026
INTERNATIONAL LIGHTING DESIGN COMPETITION
We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to the L A M P community for your continued support. After more than a decade of independently running the competition as a true labor of love, we were grateful for the pause in 2025, which allowed our founder the time and space to recuperate from a year of challenging health hurdles. We’re deeply appreciative of the patience, care, and encouragement shown by our designers, partners, and supporters around the world, and we’re excited to carry that energy forward as we prepare to launch the 2026 L A M P competition in July! We look forward to welcoming you back for the next chapter…
