Showlight 2025 bursaries available — TPi
Bursary Description
Showlight Bursaries are now available for early career delegates. Thanks to the generous sponsorship of Diamond Sponsor: Ayrton, Showlight has a limited number of reduced-priced conference places available to early career freelance professionals.
To apply for these places please submit a resume/CV, portfolio or website, along with a maximum 200-word (1200 character) statement describing your career and interests, and why you would like to attend Showlight2025 in Dijon this May. The deadline for applications is 15 March 2025.
Showlight wants to encourage as many people as possible to be able to attend this conference and appreciates that the cost of attending can be daunting.
Showlight already has an Student Sponsorship scheme in place for which applications are already open. The Emerging Professional Bursaries form a completely new initiative, made possible by Ayrton’s generous support, that complements this scheme, enabling a greater range of delegates to participate and enjoy Showlight.
“Ayrton is proud to support emerging professionals at Showlight,” said Ayrton CEO, Chris Ferrante. “Access to industry events is crucial for early-career freelancers, yet often financially challenging. By sponsoring these bursaries, we’re helping remove barriers, ensuring emerging talent can connect, learn, and contribute to the future of lighting design. Investing in the next generation benefits the entire industry, and we’re delighted to play a part in shaping its future.”
