SHOWLIGHT - ALPD Bursaries

Showlight 2025 ALPD Bursaries

The ALPD is pleased to announce the sponsorship of two places at this year’s Showlight conference in Dijon 19-22 May. We are offering two bursaries of £500 each to Professional and Affiliate Members of the ALPD to contribute to registration and other expenses related to attendance, at this most fascinating symposium on lighting design. 

This event only happens every four years and it is always interesting, enjoyable and, unlike the other trade shows, completely focused on the creative use of light in a wide variety of applications.

Showlight is unique in that speakers, delegates and exhibitors mingle throughout the three days of the event – during the paper presentations, at tea and coffee breaks, over meals and during the visits programme – allowing plenty of time for discussion and exchange of ideas. 

Full details about the event can be found on its website: http://www.showlight.org/

In return we expect the bursary recipients to write up their experiences at the conference for Focus. 

To apply for one of these bursaries simply write to or email the ALPD office detailing why you would like to attend Showlight 2025. 

Conditions

• Members who wish to apply must have their subscriptions fully paid up!
• The recipients will arrange their own registration, travel and accommodation.
• Entries will be judged by members of the Executive and assessed on
  • the applicant’s reasons for wanting to attend the show
  • how the applicant intends to make their report for Focus
  • the presentation of their application.
• The bursary cannot be transferred to another person.
• If a recipient is unable to attend the show then they must assist the ALPD in transferring all travel and accommodation arrangements to another member of the Executive’s choosing and the unspent balance of the bursary must be returned to the ALPD.
