IES Orange

The IES Illumination Awards provides a unique opportunity for public recognition of professionalism, ingenuity, and originality in lighting design based upon the individual merit of each entry judged against specific criteria.

Judges are selected from a broad professional spectrum that represents knowledge of lighting and design excellence. The judging system is based entirely on how well the lighting design does or does not meet the program criteria. This program is not a competition. The program is open to any qualified entrant without limitations as to professional affiliations. The Guth, Waterbury, Cutler, Energy and Environmental Design Award sponsored by Osram Sylvania and the Control Innovation Award sponsored by the Lighting Controls Association are parallel programs created to recognize outstanding lighting design.

• The Control Innovation Award sponsored by the Lighting Controls Association:
   The award recognizes good lighting projects that exemplify the effective use of lighting controls in nonresidential applications. All submissions must adhere to the program procedures. Since the award is new and also recognizes lighting controls, some helpful guidelines for these entries are available. Please note that these are just suggested areas to address in preparing your entry.
• The Energy and Environmental Design Award sponsored by Osram Sylvania:
  The Energy and Environmental Design Award recognizes quality lighting installations in commercial and industrial buildings that incorporate advanced energy-saving strategies and environmentally responsible solutions into the overall design.

• The Aileen Page Cutler Memorial Award for Residential Lighting Design:
  This award honors the memory of Aileen Page Cutler, a developer of new and creative ways to light residences. She also developed training programs for teaching others the art and science of residential lighting. She was the wife of the late C.M. (Monte) Cutler, who established this award.

• The Paul Waterbury Award for Outdoor Lighting Design:
  The Paul Waterbury Award for Outdoor Lighting honors Paul Waterbury’s achievements in the lighting field. Among them, the development of 1500 W metal halide lamps for stadium use and an optical system for lowmounted tennis court lighting.

• The Edwin F. Guth Memorial Award for Interior Lighting Design:
  The Edwin F. Guth Memorial Awards for Interior Lighting Design honors the memory of Edwin F. Guth, who founded the St. Louis Brass Co. in 1902. He later renamed the company the Edwin F. Guth Co. At the time of his death in 1962, he held 147 patents.
