After months of anticipation, lots of hard work, no small amount of creativity and a spectacular finale, we have a winner.  Well done to John Lim whose bread bag tag light has scooped top prize in the 2009 LightCycle competition.

Thank you to everybody who took part in this year’s competition, to all the sponsors, the judges, my team at Electrolight and to State of Design for making this competition such a fantastic success.  Also thanks to the hundreds of people who turned up for thje opening on Friday night - great to see you all there.  This competition has further demonstrated the extent of creativity in this state and the exhibition is well worth a look if you haven’t been there yet.

After many hours of deliberation the judges have reached a decision on which of the entries have made our top five.  This was a particularly tough job, not just because the quality of the entries was so high but the sheer diversity of responses to the brief was amazing.  Again, thanks to all who have entered and a special thanks to our Judges Chris Barnett, Soren Luckins and Simon Knott who have given up their time to do such a thorough review of the entries.

Getting to grips with the entries...

Most of Electrolight’s team have spent the day working hard setting up the gallery for the opening of LightCycle this Friday night.

I have to say that the quality of this year’s entries has been really high - well done to everybody who has made such a huge effort to take part.  For those of you who are coming along on Friday night you are in for a treat!

We have wonderful creations installed on walls, tables, floor, columns and suspended from the rafters over 2 levels of Guildford Lane Gallery, 20-24 Guildford Lane, Melbourne,  The fun starts at 6.30.

You are the 100th registrant for the LightCycle competition.

Just a couple of weeks to go until we close the registration process so if anyone else wants in, get in soon…

We have now received over 70 registrations for LightCycle and the first batch of entry kits has been sent out to those who paid the entry fee before the end of last week.  We will be sending the next batch at the start of next week and again weekly thereafter…
