The Illuminating Engineering Society of British Columbia (IESBC) has announced its winners for the 2016 Vision Awards. The not-for-profit celebrates outstanding B.C. lighting engineers and designers for their local and international projects, and aids in the application of international award opportunities and IES’s Illumination Awards (submissions for the Illumination Awards open January 1, 2017).

IESBC’s Vision Awards is stage one leading up to IES’s National Illumination Awards. This year’s winners in three categories include:

Submissions were judged locally based on how well the lighting design met the program criteria and is not a competition. This year’s IESBC judges included Shail Mahanti, Douglas Welch, Matt Davis and Carol Kelley.

IESBC aims to bring together the best of B.C.’s lighting professionals, including lighting designers, engineers, architects, interior designers, manufacturers, representatives and distributors. The organization offers monthly seminars to educate trade and residential designers as well as any one interested in learning more about the lighting industry.
