Eaton’s Cooper Lighting Business Announces SOURCE Awards Call for Entries
PEACHTREE CITY, Ga. … Power management company Eaton today announced that
its Cooper Lighting Division is now accepting entries for the 38th Annual SOURCE Awards
national lighting design competition.
The competition, which focuses on furthering the understanding, knowledge and function of
lighting as a primary element in design, is open to all lighting designers, architects, engineers,
professional designers and consultants who use lighting and controls products from Eaton’s
Cooper Lighting business in interior or exterior design projects. Students currently enrolled in
any of these disciplines are also eligible to enter projects based on conceptual lighting designs
and will be judged in a separate student category.
“We’re always looking for the most creative and innovative use of state-of-the-art lighting
products and techniques,” said Mark Eubanks, president, Eaton’s Cooper Lighting Division.
“This competition is a reflection of that outlook with the call for entries going out to designers
and students alike. The awards ask participants to combine aesthetics, creativity and technical
performance to address specific lighting needs while meeting project constraints and design
concept goals.”
Entries must be postmarked on or before January 30, 2015, and winners will be announced in
May 2015 at LIGHTFAIR International in New York, New York. There will be no minimum or
maximum number of awards given, as each project will be judged on its own merit. Selected
entries will earn the distinction of Winner, Honorable Mention or Award of Recognition.
