The Knight of Illumination Awards (KOI) is the ultimate showcase of entertainment lighting and video design work in the UK. Judging is conducted by three panels of industry experts in conjunction with prestigious industry organisations the ALD and the STLD.

 

The Knight of Illumination Awards were conceived by lighting designer Durham and Jennie Marenghi in partnership with the Italian lighting manufacturer Claypaky – which to this day continues to support the awards as headline sponsors. The awards and annual ceremony are managed by The Fifth Estate on behalf of the KOI committee.

 

Since its conception in 2007 KOI has continued to grow in stature and is now the most credible and sought after UK industry awards to celebrate lighting, projection and digital content design for entertainment. KOI recognises work broadcast or performed in the UK across the fields of Television, Theatre and Concert and Events.

 

The two British associations of lighting designers the STLD and the ALD alongside the KOI committee ensure that the annual Awards go to practitioners who display unfaltering professionalism and integrity in their work across all scales of production.  We welcome nominations from, and for, everyone, irrespective of gender, age, race, religion, belief, identity, disability or sexual orientation.

The Enrico Caironi Lifetime Recognition Award

Each year, The Enrico Caironi Lifetime Recognition Award is presented to an individual whose passion for the industry has gone above and beyond the call of duty, in turn benefiting their colleagues, the industry, and the wider world.

The Award is named in fond memory of Enrico Caironi (1947 – 2011) former Claypaky commercial director whose inspiration and enthusiasm created, and subsequently shaped the Knight of Illumination Awards.
