How it works
Easy! Simply follow these steps:
Download the project files – We’ve prepared a scene with three stored photos and a few clips that you can download here. No effects applied—just a blank canvas ready for you to experiment and create a unique style.
Get creative – Apply Lumion’s effect stack to all three photos and at least one video clip. Develop a unique, recognizable look that sets your work apart.
Submit your work – Send us your Lumion project file (.LS), rendered images and clips, and a short description explaining your artistic intent. Use the form below and make sure to follow the submission guidelines.
Win and get featured – The top three winners will have their styles included in the upcoming version, Lumion 2025, along with a free Lumion Pro subscription!
