This year's theme, Reignited, challenged students to create a lighting installation that served as a retrospective using three themes from past competitions. Since 2000, the IESNYC has invited students from New York City Art and Design schools to participate in a city wide design competition. The competition empowers students to explore light as an art form, demonstrate light as a stimulus, and prove light as a valuable medium.
