The popular Light Stars <\/a>program, sponsored by Dallas Market Center<\/a> (DMC), will be continuing for the upcoming June Lightovation<\/a>, but there are some important updates.

Nominees can include any type of business that is involved in the purchase or specification of lighting, not just retail lighting showrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deadline for submitting nominations<\/a> for the June 18-21, 2025 edition of Lightovation is March 14. Final selections for 2025 Light Stars will be made in April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
