Products embargoed until CEDIA Expo starts are still eligible for entry, but they will only appear online. Early bird entry deadline is June 15, and the final deadline is July 15.

"CE Pro has been writing about the top technologies and products for residential integrators for nearly 15 years," says Jason Knott, editor-in-chief. "Until now, we never recognized those cutting-edge systems with an award. This is a great way to focus on the new products being unveiled at CEDIA Expo."

The BEST Awards are different from the CE Pro High-Impact Products (CHIPS), which are voted on by the readers and recognize the top products on the market.
