“After hosting our most successful Awa9rds to date this year, we are thrilled to release the first details of the CEDIA Awards 2016,” comments Wendy Griffiths, Executive Director at CEDIA EMEA. “We have had some fantastic feedback from the winners over the last few years – how important wining a CEDIA Award is to them, the benefits they get off the back of it, and how the entry process is valuable, as it ensures they retain full records for each project they work on. We have already heard several of our members expressing their desire to enter the scheme, so we look forward to receiving these entries.”
A large number of CEDIA members enter the CEDIA Awards each year, with home technology professional members and trade supplier members all wanting a coveted trophy. Past winners include members from Cyprus, India, Poland, Pakistan, South Africa and the UK. The scheme is free to enter and open to all CEDIA members across EMEA. CEDIA will announce the opening and closing date for entries shortly, with full details on the event to follow in the New Year.
