Comment – SLPalmer55 hasn't commented yet, but he wrote on the Talk page: "I'm not sure what kind of evidence you need to support the fact that this is a notable award, but I'd like to make a case for it. I know that this is a subjective statement, but this really is the most highly sought-after award in the world of lighting design." From his editing history he seems to know what he's talking about, so I'm inclined to believe that. It's a long-standing award. If we have this article, we can link to it from articles on lighting designers to show that they have won the most notable award in their field. Just to give a similar example, I've been looking for a long time for evidence on the Internet to back up what we say in our article, that El Croquis is the world's most prestigious architecture magazine. It's just something that everyone knows. Not to say that proof for this award doesn't exist. SLPalmer55 might be able to tell us more. – Margin1522 (talk) 08:29, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If it's as notable as he claims, it should be fairly easy to find some news articles on the subject to establish notability. Maybe some interior decorating publication. ZappyGun (talk to me)What I've done for Wikipedia 01:41, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – Here are some online sources that reference the IES Illumination Awards and the Guth Award. I wish there were more discussion about it in magazines, but for some reason there isn't. It's just one of those things in the lighting world that everybody knows about.

Louie's e-newsletter, LIGHTNOW, is another publisher with a listing of the IA Awards. He has his articles by category, so I searched under Awards and found these most recent entries: http://www.lightnowblog.com/2014/12/ies-announces-2014-illumination-awards-winners/ http://www.lightnowblog.com/2013/07/ies-announces-award-of-merit-recipients-for-the-2013-illumination-awards/

Searching for IES Illumination Awards, this link came up, which includes a paragraph about the Guth Awards: http://inventorspot.com/articles/2014_ies_illumination_awards_are_looking_bright_designers

LEDs Magazine announced the awards: http://www.ledsmagazine.com/ugc/iif/2014/12/05/ies-announces-2014-illumination-awards-finalists-for-lighting-design.html

Also, I'm sorry if this comment isn't formatted in the same way as the others. I'm still getting used to the way things are done around here.
