As well as categories to showcase design excellence, did you know we have some new categories this year, designed to bring out the best personal qualities and corporate ethos that make people proud.
Some of this year’s categories are designed to bring out individual strengths:
Entrepreneurial Star – Are you a young (under 35 years) entrepreneur of the electronics industry? We want to hear how your drive and ambition have formed your career journey; how you identified a market need, started your company and/or charted its growth.
Others are for companies with award categories that encourage businesses to flourish:
Start-up of the Year – Young companies have high-energy and high impact in our industry. This award is for bright and creative electronics hardware or product design that challenges established markets and practices.
Best Workplace Award – Companies that value talent attract talent. We want to hear about the initiatives and incentives that make your company desirable, happy, productive and caring.
Others are to demonstrate how the electronics industry can improve lives:
Neurodiversity Product Award – If you have been part of a project that shows empathy by designing an audio, visual or sensory aid for use by neurodiverse individuals – tell us about your design.
The Futurist Award – Does a prototype you have been involved with break barriers to advance the technology of the future – like last year’s winner GroundWaves and its sensory footwear – haptic sneakers.
Other categories are for Smart Building Product (how the IoT can protect and serve), Educational Support, Design Teams and Design Tools (including test instruments), Passive/Interconnection/Electromechanical Product, Power System, Medical, Automotive, Consumer, Automotive and Manufacturer of the Year.
It is free to enter before Friday 13 June. Show us what you’ve got!
