Tips for creating a winning entry

Every year, thousands of new products are introduced at CEDIA. Thousands. After all the effort you have put into bringing your product to market, how can you stand out from the crowd? Winning a Best of Show Award from Systems for private households, TWICEAnd Which hi-fi system? (or even all three) goes a long way in making your product stand out in a crowded market and highlighting the hard work that went into its release.

Each entry is judged by an industry expert. We keep them secret so they can visit your CEDIA Expo booths anonymously, but there’s a (very) good chance you’ve seen them on the pages (both online and in print) of the brands they represent.

We’re often asked how a product can improve its chances of winning. Here are three ways to catch the attention of our judges:

• Tell your story. Your entry form is a blank slate – use it for more than just technical specs, but include them too! This is your chance to tell the judges the thinking behind designing and building a product. Make sure you outline exactly what makes this device worthy of an award.
• First impressions. Have residential integrators beta tested the product? Have you provided feedback? Can you give us a sense of how your product performs? Remember to mention it.
• Life changing. What effect do you want this product to have on the installer and the end user? What makes it different from similar products? You know why it’s better than all the others – make sure the judge knows it too.\
