Eligible applicants include cultural creators, citizen initiatives, and municipal authorities from Düsseldorf and the surrounding area who aim to emphasize the interplay of tradition and modernity in the Rhine city through creative illumination. The continuous application process allows for flexible planning and coordination of different time frames and project sizes. Through targeted financial support and cooperation with experts in light art and media technology, the foundation makes a sustainable contribution to the aesthetic enhancement of the urban environment.
