Thorn is the sponsor of a major urban lighting competition which has been launched by the Lighting Urban Community International Association (LUCI) - an international, non-profit forum that brings together over 40 cities around the world to promote light as a major tool in urban life, architecture and layout.
'LightLinks' challenges cities from low-income and high-income countries to partner together to prepare an urban lighting project for an area in the former city. It rewards the winning scheme with lighting equipment, expert scheme advice and LUCI membership benefits.
Commenting on the launch of the competition Christophe Richon, Thorn's Product Marketing Director – Outdoor, said "both LUCI and Thorn hope that this award will help increase awareness of the role light can play transforming our towns and cities and the contribution it can make to economic and social development. Encouragement of excellence in urban lighting on a global scale is one of our key objectives."
A full list of the eligible low-income countries (GDP per capita below USD 2,000) can be found on the LUCI website www.luciassociation.org. The resulting city can choose a partner with which it already has an association or link or seek guidance from the organisers, who can suggest possible partners. Entries are required by 30th September 2006 and registration forms can be downloaded from both the LUCI and Thorn websites, or by clicking this link.
