The [d]arc Awards celebrate the best in lighting design. They attract entries annually from notable lighting designers and architects around the globe. For 2020 there were 400 entries from 40 countries. The winner in the 'Structures' category for 2020 was awarded to the Acropolis in Athens, Greece. A great accolade for Eleftheria Deko and Associates, not least Greek lighting design, as the structure, the Acropolis and its monuments, are globally recognised iconic, historic monuments - adding a dimension to the significance of these awards for all mankind.
Minister of Culture and Sports Lina Mendoni stated, "The work of lighting the Acropolis, highlights with new, bright light the monuments of the Holy Rock and is the work of scientists, technicians, and Eleftheria Deko and her team. It was carried out in close cooperation with the Ministry of Culture and Sports, the executives of the Archaeological Service and received all the approvals required by Greece's Archaeological Law. It is one of the projects implemented to upgrade the site and was made possible with the kind donation of the Onassis Foundation. This work is now gaining international recognition by art and lighting experts worldwide as the light of the Acropolis travels around the globe having lit up the most important monument of Western Civilization. It promotes Greece's cultural heritage and continues to promotes our nation. Congratulations to Eleftheria Deko and Associates for their wonderful efforts, this is an important success that honours our country."
