Deadline: Monday 7th April 2014
CEDIA (the Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association) has announced that the “Oscars†of the residential custom installation industry, the CEDIA Awards is now open for entries, and features a new, simplified online entry process.
The CEDIA Awards recognises and promotes high quality system design, installation and integration within the home automation industry. Open to Home Technology Professional (HTP) members across Region 1 (the UK and Europe, Russia and the CIS, the Middle East, Africa, India and Pakistan), it is one of the key attractions to becoming a member, generating press coverage for winners in a range of trade and consumer publications.
CEDIA has made some significant changes to the scheme this year by announcing two new categories, developing a brand new website –
www.cediaawards.org and launching a simplified online entry process. This new system allows members to draft, edit and review their entries before submitting the completed entry. Members may submit as many projects as they wish, and in multiple categories. The easy to use system ensures that entrants submit a variety of documentation including the client’s brief, details on the solution installed and the customer’s verdict. Supporting information such as high resolution images, kit lists and schematics also need to be included. The closing date for the awards is Monday 7th April.

Best Media Room under £15,000

Additionally, CEDIA will recognise and celebrate the contribution of individuals to the work of CEDIA, and the development and growth of the residential custom installation industry with its Special Recognition Award.
