今年的評審團特別獎由「艋舺龍山寺」獲獎，集結宗教信仰和傳統建築工藝於一身的龍山寺，是人們生活與精神的神聖殿堂。過去因缺乏妥善的照明整合規劃，牌樓的跑馬燈、強烈眩光、亮度分布失衡等問題，使廟宇隱沒在喧鬧的環境之中。照明重整後的龍山寺，燈具被巧妙地隱藏，照明方法成熟溫潤，精準均勻的從不同處投光、相互堆疊，展現出建築工藝和寺廟的神聖優雅；燈光提供視覺及精神上的指引，讓人能安心駐足，專注與信仰對話；以周邊街區整體思考，讓龍山寺重新在熙攘的街道中，靜靜地透出安定有力量的光芒，重現信仰「光」的平靜氛圍，烘托出背後的社會意義。「艋舺龍山寺」透過光的鋪陳及深度，讓民眾在視覺上、文化上和心靈上，重新和龍山寺產生連結，因此頒發評審團特別獎予以肯定。

This year’s Special Jury Award is presented to the “Banka Lungshan Temple.” The Lungshan Temple is a place that merges religious belief and traditional architectural craftsmanship, and it is a sacred establishment that connects with people’s everyday lives and spiritual beliefs. In the past, due to the lack of proper integrated lighting planning, the temple suffered from problematic scrolling marquee signs on its gate, strong glares, and imbalanced lighting distribution, which made the temple look lackluster amid the surrounding hustle and bustle. The lighting overhaul at the Lungshan Temple cleverly conceals the lamps installed, and using sophisticated and soft lighting design, precise and even lights are cast from different angles and stacked on top of each other to aptly showcase the architectural artistry of the building and the temple’s divine gracefulness. The lighting also provides visual and spiritual guidance, allowing people to feel calm and secure, so they could pause and focus on their faith. The surrounding neighborhood as a whole is also taken into consideration, allowing the Lungshan Temple to quietly shine in the busy neighborhood with an energy that is calm and stable. The light rekindles the serene energy from faith and highlights the underpinning social significance. The lighting design’s arrangement and depth reconnect the public with the Lungshan Temple in visual, cultural, and spiritual ways, making it a worthy recipient of the Special Jury Award.
