Shortlist announced for Young Lighter of the Year
l New talent will be recognised
The shortlisted entries for this year’s Young Lighter of the Year award have now been announced – and this year you can vote for who you think should win. The annual competition, run by the Society of Light and Lighting (SLL) since 1996, aims to encourage young talent in the lighting industry, and has historically uncovered a selection of creative and unique young lighters.
The categories have recently been expanded and now include awards for ‘Best Paper’, awarded by the Institution of Lighting Professionals, and ‘Best Presentation’ awarded by the Worshipful Company of Lightmongers, as well as the overall award of ‘Young Lighter of the Year’, presented by the SLL. Entrants were initially required to submit abstracts and video blogs, at which point six were shortlisted and asked to submit full papers. The shortlist will be whittled down to just four finalists.
The 2012 entries have once again attracted a wide range of entries, with the shortlisted titles including: shadow defining space; saturated coloured light and its role in the night time environment; catching the light – lighting for humans in the urban context; the current performance of daylighting practice and design;
the merits of utilising task-based lighting in the office environment; and the use of coloured light in the urban environment: is it time for legislation? For the first time, you can view the video blogs for each of the shortlisted competitors at
www.sll.org.uk/ yloty and vote for who you think should win, although votes do not count towards the final decision. This year, the Young Lighter of the Year award final will take place at the LUXLive exhibition, on 6 November. The finalist presentations will take place at 1pm, with the winner announced in the Live Forum at 5pm. If you would like to attend please register at
www.luxlive.co.uk for your free visitor’s pass. The finalists will be announced on 17 September.

Engineers encouraged to share knowledge
Tom Watson, 2012-13 ASHRAE president, used his inaugural presidential address at the recent ASHRAE Conference in San Antonio to focus on his newly initiated Community Sustainability Project Programme. This is squarely aimed
at spurring engineers to voluntarily share their knowledge with local projects as a means of improving the built environment for groups that would otherwise struggle, both technically and financially. San Antonio is home to the
Alamo, where the bravery in defeat of the defending Texans inspired a resurgence and the subsequent rioting that ended a revolution. And maybe Watson’s message was allegorical, because if ASHRAE members can become known for improving the sustainability of local communities,they can establish themselves as more prominent – and potentially respected – members of society. However, it would be
unjustly cynical to infer that this initiative was founded on personal gain – he was sincere in his call for engineers to take a more proactive role in the education and development of their communities – a call that undoubtedly bears serious consideration across the global engineering community.
