The Process
Entries Judged: September 23-October 9
Each award category is judged by a three-member panel consisting of an independent industrial designer, engineer or industry analyst and a member of the trade press. Each entry takes approximately 10-15 minutes to evaluate; depending on the number of entries per category, judging may take anywhere from 3-15 hours to complete. Each judge may specify their commitment level, to ensure that an appropriate number of products is assigned for judging.
Judges are notified of their selection status in mid-September. All Innovation Awards judges must be registered for CES 2016. Registration will open on July 8 at
CESweb.org/register.
