(“O-lite, a lamp
created by Sinegugu Sosibo. A student at DUT (Durban University of Technology)
in 2010, she was a regional finalist in the student category (from KZN).)
Deadline: August 15, 2014.
Designers are invited to enter the Eskom Energy Efficient
Lighting Design Competition with R200,000 worth of prize money.
The competition offers a two-fold opportunity:
- For one, Eskom invites high school learners, students and
professional designers to think outside the box and submit imaginative lamp
designs that not only work, but that are also pleasing to the eye. As the name
of the competition implies, it is of major importance that all designs make use
of energy-efficient light sources.
- Secondly, professional designers are also invited to
submit innovative energy-efficient designs, systems or products that are
suitable for residential applications. These may include, for example, a
complete lighting system that caters for a low-cost housing development. Once
again, the key word is energy-efficiency.
The theme of this year’s competition is Celebrate 20 years of democracy! The closing date is August 15, 2014.
