CEDIA Reveals Best-of-the-Best in the Manufacturer’s Excellence Awards
Best New Product and Best New Technology Finalists Announced
Indianapolis — Innovation. Value. Performance. These are only some of the words that best describe the top finalists of the Custom Electronic Design and Installation Association (CEDIA) Manufacturer’s Excellence Awards for Best New Product and Best New Technology.
Submissions came in from across the country. Thirty finalists were selected for the Best New Product award and three finalists were selected for Best New Technology. Ten winners for Best New Product and one winner for Best New Technology will be announced at the annual Electronic Lifestyles® Awards Banquet at CEDIA EXPO 2008 on September 6.
A jury of CEDIA Residential Electronic Systems Contractor members decided which submissions made the finals. Competition is fierce for the prestigious awards as each finalist must display to the judges innovative technology, value to the technician and business, performance and enhancement to the client’s lifestyle. Along with the honor of being selected as a finalist, each finalist will be showcased on CEDIA’s Web site with product descriptions at http://www.cedia.org/awards and given a finalist plaque to display in their booth during EXPO.
Winners for the Designer awards, Electronic Systems Technician (EST) of the Year, Electronic Systems Contractor (ESC) of the Year, Lifetime Achievement and the all-new Product Hall of Fame inductees will also be announced at the Electronic Lifestyles Awards® Banquet. CEDIA EXPO is September 3-7 in Denver, Colo. at the Colorado Convention Center.
