Only Two Days Left To Submit Entries for the 2021 Smart Home Division Mark of Excellence Awards

Look out, integrators! There are only two days left to submit entries for the 2021 Smart Home Division Mark of Excellence Awards program, presented by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA). The final deadline to submit all entries is November 13, 2020. The winners will be recognized in a digital profile on CTA.tech that will be amplified to audiences across social media, newsletters and more.

The awards recognize some of the best residential and commercial custom installation projects performed by integrators, as well as top consumer technology products and services that are primarily targeted at the custom installation channel. Each year, manufacturers, distributors and systems integrators enter to compete for the coveted awards.

There are 19 different product categories manufacturers may submit for, including emerging technologies/IoT, automation device of the year, and networking product of the year, among others.

Meanwhile, custom installers can select from 6 categories to submit projects ranging from lighting control, health and wellness, and home theater. 

Nominations are also accepted for Integrator of the Year.
