How have the CEDIA Smart Home Awards helped our members?

CEDIA Award Winner

Zak Vracevic, M.E.G.A. AV Installations Ltd

"What CEDIA awards means for us, apart from a recognition from the industry is that we can show clients and architects that attention to detail (and time spent on it) pays off. It shows that whole, sometimes lengthy, process of working through every detail make sense at the end when everything just comes together."

2023 Global Award Winner

Ciaran Wilkins, The Big Picture

“Having Ivy Cottage named Best Global Media Room is among the most gratifying moments of my career; the space is one of which I’m immensely proud. My vision for Ivy Cottage was to prove that it’s possible to deliver a truly contemporary, no-compromise sound and vision experience in a space that communicates its heritage and supports day-to-day family life. I hope that the Best Global Media Room award shows how it can be done, and inspires other clients to create their own accessible, inspiring spaces.”

CEDIA Award Winner

Owen Maddock, Cinemaworks

"The CEDIA awards are widely acknowledged as the 'gold standard' awards in our industry - judged by an independent panel of industry experts, impartial, and based in real engineering standards. Importantly they're free to enter, completely anonymous and judged by a panel in a different territory, so there's no risk of bias or cronyism. I was incredibly proud when we won 'Best Media Room Level 2’ and have been honoured as a finalist a few times - it's a big deal if you even get on the shortlist - and have served on the judging panel. I'm so pleased to be in great company with the best integrators across the world."

CEDIA Award Winner

Andy Mack, Cyberhomes Limited

"For us at Cyberhomes, a CEDIA Award is not just a trophy; it is a testament to our continuous growth and dedication to providing high quality installations. We have continued to raise the bar, embracing the tough competition, and constantly evolving. We’ve seen that it really has an impact on our team and the industry as a whole. Winning a CEDIA Award is not just a stroke of luck; it's a result of hard work and dedication. It forces us to elevate our standards, pushing us to think creatively and strategically about every project we undertake."
