“The CEDIA Awards honour first-class, residential custom installation projects,” says CEDIA chair Gary Lewis.

“The volume of entries has increased this year by more than 75% which demonstrates their appeal, the strength of the competition and the value members receive in taking part. These are highly prized accolades and rightly so. We are showcasing the best of the best from across the region and are looking forward to an incredible Awards Ceremony in London on Friday 28 June.”
