CEDIA has announced that the 2017 CEDIA Awards program is now accepting entries.

Additionally, CEDIA has set pre-determined cost categories for Home Cinema, Integrated Home and Media Room projects. Other home technology professional awards categories include Innovative Solution, Lighting Control and Installation; Multiple Dwelling Unit Design; Showroom; Special Project; and Auto, Marine and Aircraft.
Finalists, which will be announced in July, will be considered for additional sub-category awards for Best Documentation, Best Dressed System, Best Lifestyle System and Best Aesthetic Installation.

The CEDIA manufacturer awards have been updated slightly to include three categories: Best New Software Product, Best New Hardware Product, and Product Hall of Fame. Finalist will be announced in August and will then have the opportunity to do a video demonstration for the CEDIA judging panel in place of the booth visits that were previously part of the judging process at the CEDIA show.
“We are so excited to launch the 2017 CEDIA Awards,” says Vin Bruno, CEDIA CEO. “We are delighted to offer an expanded and globally aligned awards program that will celebrate the excellence and professionalism of CEDIA members worldwide.
