Description
The annual CES Innovation Awards program celebrates outstanding product design and engineering in brand-new consumer technology products.You must provide a minimum of two different high-resolution photos of your product along with your written entry submission.
The product or technology must be submitted to the category that best represents it. Products may be submitted to more than one category; however, a separate entry fee will be assessed for each category entered. Each Innovation Awards product category is judged by a different panel of judges.
NEW for 2018, we've added categories for Cybersecurity, Smart Cities, and Robotics!
The Innovation Awards program recognizes two levels of honorees among 28 award categories:
Honoree: A product or technology that scores above the threshold set for a specific category.
Best of Innovation: Given to only the highest-rated product or technology in each category — or to multiple, in the event of a tie.
Earning the coveted CES Innovation Awards Honoree title provides engaging benefits:

Innovation Awards Honoree logo to include on your product packaging and advertising materials.

Each product category has a three-member judging team composed of an independent industrial designer, an independent engineer and a member of the trade press.
The team gives a numerical value to each of the below criteria. The scores are combined, resulting in a cumulative score for each product. A baseline value is derived from the cumulative scores in a category, and all scores above the baseline are designated as Honorees.
The Best of Innovation Award will be awarded to the highest-rated product in each category, as long as that product surpasses a previously determined minimum score.
If the highest-rated product in a category does not surpass the minimum score, there will be no Best of Innovation Award for that category. All award designations by our judges are final.
