OSRAM Sylvania and College for Creative Studies Announce Lighting Design
ChallengeFirst annual contest to benefit students of CCS












HILLSBORO, N.H., Oct. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- OSRAM Sylvania, the world's leading
manufacturer of automotive lighting and College for Creative Studies (CCS),
one of the world's preeminent schools of transportation design are proud to
announce the kick-off of the first annual OSRAM Automotive Lighting Design
Challenge on Oct. 8, 2009.


The 2009 OSRAM Automotive Lighting Design Challenge is designed to help
educate future transportation designers on the many benefits of advanced LED
(Light Emitting Diode) lighting technologies and the design freedom they
offer.


"LEDs are poised to change the way automotive designers think about automotive
exterior lighting," said David Hulick, global product marketing manager at
OSRAM Sylvania for its automotive LED systems division. "They are extremely
energy efficient, environmentally-friendly and the size and format of the
technology frees up designers to think outside the conventional lighting
design box."


The OSRAM Automotive Lighting Design Challenge will run concurrently with the
CCS fall curriculum for second year students in the university's
Transportation Design program. Contest entrants will design a concept for a
forward lighting application using OSRAM Sylvania LED technologies. 


Students will be able to connect with OSRAM Sylvania lighting engineers
through a special Facebook(TM) page set up specifically for that purpose. 


The Design Challenge will be judged by a diverse panel including renowned
automotive designers, Pat Schiavone, North American Truck & SUV Design
Director for Ford Motor Company, and Bob Boniface, Director of GM's Advanced
Design Studio. They will be joined by representatives from OSRAM Sylvania and
Tier One lighting manufacturers. 


The entries will be judged on creative execution of the design and the
innovative use of the technology. The top three will be awarded a total of
$5,000 in scholarships; $2,500 for first place, $1,500 for second place and
$1000 for third place.


The winning entries will be unveiled during the Lighting Design Challenge
awards ceremony to be held the first week of December at CCS's prestigious A.
Alfred Taubman Center for Design Education, an integrated learning community
dedicated to creativity located in Detroit's New Center in what was formerly 
General Motors engineering and design center, the Argonaut Building. 


"We are pleased that OSRAM Sylvania has chosen to partner with CCS for their
Automotive Lighting Design Challenge," said Larry Erickson, Paul and Helen
Farago Chair of Transportation Design at CCS. "This is not only a chance for
students to build relationships with the automotive suppliers they'll one-day
be working with, but also affords the opportunity to experience the exciting
new technologies that they will use to shape the future of transportation
design."
