We are thrilled to announce the opening of submissions for the 2024 DALI Lighting Awards, celebrating excellence across a range of categories. This year, we are excited to streamline the process by consolidating the application awards into four key categories: Residential, Commercial Interior, Commercial Exterior, and Industrial & Infrastructure.

To make the submission process easier, we no longer require entries to be submitted under specific categories; our judges will evaluate each project to determine its merit within the appropriate category.

► What are the key features that make your project worthy of winning a DALI Lighting Award? – Maximum of 1000 characters (with spaces)

Describe the benefits delivered by DALI, which could include some or all of the following: Dimming and colour control to achieve desired lighting schemes; wellbeing and comfort of occupants; energy usage monitoring, energy efficiency and environmental aspects; ease of installation, reliability and predictive maintenance; asset management; future proofing.

► Projects do not have to use exclusively DALI. Entries should explain how DALI combines with other technologies, where appropriate. Materials should explain why DALI was chosen, and the benefits achieved by using DALI (see "What information is required?" below for more details).

For the first time ever, DALI will be recognizing projects based not only on Application, but also on Innovation. Projects may win in multiple categories.

In addition, we are placing greater emphasis on recognizing impactful DALI projects by introducing innovation categories that highlight the technical uses of DALI in areas such as D4i, Emergency Lighting, Human-Centric Lighting, Innovations in Lighting, Sustainability & Energy Efficiency, Smart and Connected Lighting, Non-networked Lighting, and Horticulture Lighting.

► Eligible projects will have been completed between January 2022 and November 2024. Partially completed and ongoing projects will be considered, provided that images and tangible results are already available. Projects completed before January 2022 will not be considered.
