Elektra Awards 2025
“For more than 20 years, the Elektra Awards have been the bellwether for innovation in the electronics industry,” says Electronics Weekly‘s editor, Caroline Hayes. “The glamorous awards evening is a celebration of the unique people and companies that drive our fast-paced electronics industry.”
“To make it above all an evening of inspiration and aspiration, we are asking you to submit your entry to help us identify the focus for each sector and to highlight the work being done to promote, progress or unify the design community.”
Note that the winners are chosen by a select panel of industry professionals, she highlighted. In other words, peers endorsing design expertise or best practises across a wide range of industry sectors. As a result, the Elektra awards serve to acknowledge technological excellence and advances and inspire others to attain new heights of distinction and quality.
“I encourage anyone with a stake in advancing the electronics community to submit one or more entries (there is no fee to enter) and show the world how you are advancing excellence in electronics design.”
Entries will close Friday 13 June 2025.
