One of the SLL’s flagship events, every year the Ready Steady Light (RSL) competition, sees teams competing against each other to design and set up temporary exterior installations with a limited range of equipment in only 180 minutes.
Returning to basic engineering and design, teams are tasked with lighting their site in its natural state with the equipment provided. They each have to overcome challenges without a budget and within the time constraints.
Whilst the lighting community has worked to overcome the challenges presented by the pandemic, day to day work has continued. There have been new starters and the same requirements to support development but without the crucial interaction of getting to work alongside colleagues in a shared space. The Society feels it is more important than ever to provide design practices, students and lighting professionals with an opportunity to have fun and work together, with the added element of some friendly competition.
Entries for this year's competition are now open! The SLL with Rose Bruford College and the IALD, is delighted to announce the return of the SLL Ready Steady Light competition on 15 October 2024. For more information and to register, see our Events Page.
Last year (17 October 2023 ) we has a record number of teams taking part. There were three awards up for grabs. A panel of expert judges decided the winners of the SLL Technical and Artistic Award, supported by the IALD, with the coveted Peer Prize decided by the contestants taking part.
