CEDIA has just announced the technical judges for this year’s Awards.
“The CEDIA Awards are always a highlight in the industry calendar,” comments Tabatha O’Connor, global president and CEO. “Our dedicated team of volunteers and staff work hard year on year to encourage members from across the globe to enter their projects, and we’re delighted to have so many new companies engaging with the programme for the first time.”
“It’s fantastic to see some past award winners on the judging panel” adds Jenny Scott, director of member engagement. “It shows just how committed our members are to industry excellence and sharing their knowledge and expertise with fellow peers. Our members do incredible work and we’re looking forward to seeing what creative projects take centre stage this year.”
Judging for the Home Technology Professional Awards is taking place this month, with the finalists due to be announced in July. Judging panels are broken out by region and the CEDIA Global Award Winners are selected by the Chair and Vice Chair from each of the judging panels.
