A Friendly Glowstick Competition

Is there a better way to kick off a lighting design awards show than to distribute glowsticks to the finalists for “experimentation”?

The photos below have been floating around on Twitter in anticipation of the 2014 Lighting Design Awards, a worldwide architectural lighting competition to be held in London on March 20. Leave it to the creative lighting professionals to craft a rainbow motif, an “alien landing” scene, and a dog collar – all from a box of glowsticks.
