About the Lumen Awards

The IESNYC Lumen Awards program was conceived and managed by the New York City Section of the Illuminating Engineering Society in 1968. It was developed to publicly recognize lighting design members whose exceptional professionalism, ingenuity and originality in lighting design has culminated in some of the world’s most innovative lighting projects.



Awards are presented in the following categories:

Lumen Award of Excellence
The highest level of recognition for permanent architectural application.

Lumen Award of Merit
Meritorious recognition for permanent architectural application.

Lumen Citation
Special recognition for an art installation, technical detail, portion of a single project, temporary installation or other work.

Special Lumen Award Category
The Lumen Feltman Award was established in 1994 by the New York City Section to honor Sidney Feltman, a distinguished and longtime member of IESNA. His career in the lighting industry spanned 65 years and he devoted much of his time to the IES for the development of Merchandise Lighting standards, as well as the development of the IDA Awards program. The award recognizes outstanding projects specifically in the area of Merchandise Lighting. Awarding of the Lumen Feltman Award will be at the discretion of the judges.
