CEDIA has opened entries for its 2026 Smart Home Awards, inviting members to submit their standout projects, products and business achievements across the sector.
The programme is positioned as an industry celebration and year-long marketing opportunity for participating integrators, manufacturers and individuals.
Its categories encompass residential integration, business excellence, individual achievement and new product innovation.
Key integrator-focused categories include Best Home Cinema, Best Integrated Home, Best Assisted Living Project, Best Outdoor Space and Best Single Room Solution, alongside technical disciplines such as networking, lighting, documentation and rack design.
CEDIA has again placed emphasis on categories reflecting evolving market priorities, including assisted living and technology beyond the home.
Jenn McGuire, senior membership manager at CEDIA, said: “2025 was a fantastic year for the CEDIA Smart Home Awards, and I am excited to see the programme grow this year.
“These awards aren’t just about recognition - they’re about celebrating the passion and innovation that drive our industry forward.”
Submission deadlines run from April to May, depending on category, with early-bird entry available for manufacturer products.
For those seeking inspiration before entering the CEDIA Smart Home Awards, the 2026 edition of Technology Meets Design – The Best of Smart Home Style features winning and finalist entries from last year’s awards.
