Round III of The Challenge in London/UK, February 2017: a two-day conference. THE CHALLENGE After the great success of the first edition of The Challenge, the new edition promises to discover more new talents in the coming 18 months. The Challenge is a talent promotion project in the form of a speaker competition in four rounds. Participants can be students or recent graduates embarking on a career as a lighting designer. The goal of the programme is to activate more students and recent graduates from more schools to interact with each other, learn from each other and from experienced professionals, and become a more accepted part of the lighting design community. So far 20 universities have already confirmed their participation in this global competition – compared to thirteen in the last edition – and the organisers are expecting more to come!
