PITTSBURGH — Duquesne Light Company is looking to design a new holiday light display, as they retire the ‘Tree of Lights’ after over 30 years in Pittsburgh.

The company announced the “Reimagining the Duquesne Light Company Tree of Lights” competition on Thursday. Duquesne Light wants the public’s help in picking a new holiday tradition for the city of Pittsburgh, and they’re offering prizes to get it done.

“DLC is committed to helping the city of Pittsburgh celebrate the holidays through a new and more modern light display, while honoring the richness of our city’s beloved traditions,” said Christine Waller, DLC’s vice president of communications; environmental, social and governance; and corporate giving. “With the public’s help, we hope to replace the current display with something that will uphold the tradition our region has come to love over the years.”

Duquesne Light is offering up to five prizes, totaling $15,000. They also want to award a contract for the construction of the display for the 2022 holiday season, and a contract for yearly installation, if applicable.

The challenge will officially launch on Feb. 3, 2022.
