As part of the initiative of E.ON, the Hotel de Rome at Bebelplatz will be a major attraction of the festival. To mark the 30th anniversary of 2019- the fall of the Berlin Wall, E.ON called for an international street art challenge on the topic of "Free your Energy".
It will be attended by renowned artists from all fourteen operating E.ON countries in Europe who will present their works on the facade of the hotel. The public can vote for their favorites during the festival via online voting.

In addition, E.ON offers visitors the opportunity to participate in a photo contest. Anyone who takes a photo at the festival and uploads it to Instagram with the hashtag #lightsbyEON has the opportunity to win one of many attractive prizes from the latest smartphone to a Smart Home-package.
To introduce the festival to younger audiences, E.ON works with a range of local and international influencers from bloggers to YouTube creators to Instagramers. This enables individual stories to emerge from the perspective of digital natives.
