The former CLUE lighting competition
Background for visitors following older links to Community Lighting for the Urban Environment. This is an independent reference page, not a current call for entries.
What was CLUE?
CLUE stood for Community Lighting for the Urban Environment. Signify’s January 2019 announcement described a competition for emerging lighting designers, with a focus on ideas for communities. It was supported by the Signify Lighting Academy. The announcement remains available on Signify’s website.

Following an old registration link?

Working on a lighting idea today
If you arrived here while researching a design brief, the current site can still help you prepare. Our lighting-design concept guide walks through the audience, setting, alternatives and presentation. The practice briefs offer self-directed exercises, and the entry planner helps organise a real competition’s requirements.
This summary uses published sources and new explanatory writing. It is not a complete archive of the former site, and we have not reproduced entrants’ portfolios, organisers’ records or old registration forms.
