Lucite International, owner of the LuciteLux® acrylic brand, announced entries into its inaugural JUST IMAGINE Awards program are due September 27, 2013. Designers can enter their work with LuciteLux® for a chance to be featured in a full-page advertising spread in Architectural Record as well as a making-of documentary-style video that tells their story. The video will debut at an exclusive screening party at the site of the winning installation this fall.
