But what exactly do these awards celebrate, and why should those in the superyacht industry be interested?

 

What is it?

The CEDIA Awards program recognizes technical excellence and product innovation, and celebrates the many ways technology enhances the home. This is on a very large scale, awarding against 20 installation categories in three different regions across the world. And it is not exclusive to land-based homes.

Included in the home technology professional awards is the Best Auto, Marine or Aircraft category, open those in the superyacht sector. Entries into this category are not only eligible for this award but also five of the others which are judged from the entire entry pool. So, you could win more than once!

The manufacturer awards celebrate the creators of innovative connected technology products, with categories such as Best New Software Product, Best New Hardware Product, and Product Hall of Fame all up for grabs.

 

What happens if I win?

Americas winners will be announced and recognized at the CEDIA Expo in San Diego, CA.

EMEA winners will be announced and recognized at the 2018 EMEA Awards event in London in September.

And Asia Pacific winners will be announced on August 23, 2018 at the CEDIA Awards event in conjunction with Integrate 2018.
