The Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association (CEDIA) had its annual Electronic Lifestyles Awards Banquet in Atlanta Georgia on Saturday night, recognising more than 40 winning projects from across the US and Canada.

The Designer Awards competition, which honours the best projects completed by CEDIA electronic systems contractors (ESC) members in the past year, featured winners in such categories as Best Integrated Home, Best Media Room, Best Hidden Installation, and Best Large Home Theater.

The Designer Awards winners were determined by a panel of expert judges that included ESCs, architects, and interior designers. Also recognized were the three winners in the first-ever CEDIA/HGTVPro.com Audience Choice Awards, which were voted on by visitors to HGTVPro.com.

The Manufacturers’ Excellence Awards included ten Best New Product winners, one Sustainable Lifestyle Product Innovation winner, one Horizon Award winner, and two inductees into the Product Hall of Fame. The winners were selected by a panel of ESC judges.

CEDIA also announced the winner of the first-ever Attendees’ Choice Award as voted on by ESCs attending CEDIA EXPO.

CEDIA CEO Utz Baldwin said: “CEDIA’s Electronic Lifestyles Awards represent the electronic systems industry’s best work. These award winners are at the leading edge of the innovation that will keep this industry moving forward.”
