CEDIA is now accepting entries for the 2021 CEDIA Awards program, regarded as the premiere global honour for residential technology integrators.

The awards are open from projects in the Americas, EMEA and APAC regions and will close on Friday 2 April 2021.

“Integrators throughout the world continue to advance the profession and deliver impressive projects,” CEDIA co-interim chief executive Giles Sutton says.

“The 2021 CEDIA awards competition is one of the ways we celebrate innovation and showcase the expertise our members offer the global business community.”

Project categories include: Integrated Home; Media Room; Home Cinema; Innovative Solution or System; Showroom; Auto, Marine, or Aircraft; and Multiple Dwelling Unit Design.

CEDIA members can submit projects in multiple categories, and judges will determine cost categories based on all completed entries. Entries will be categorised based on their region: Americas, EMEA or APAC.

CEDIA Award entries from integrators are reviewed by a panel of experienced industry experts, who select finalists and winners based on specific technical criteria. Winners will also receive a trophy, feature in the CEDIA newsletter, projects actively pitched to major media outlets and printed copies of their case study.

Additional sub-categories include Best Dressed Rack, Best Documentation, Best Lighting System, Innovative System or Solution, Life Lived Best at Home, and Technology Meets Design. Additionally, winners of Home Cinema, Integrated Home, and Media Room categories will be considered for Global Awards.

To qualify for the 2021 programme, entrants must be active CEDIA members and projects need to have been completed between March 2019 and March 2021. More information on the program, the entry process and its benefits is available at cedia.net/awards
