Installation is delighted to announce the shortlisted entries for this year’s AV Technology Awards.
After receiving an unprecedented volume of entries across all categories, the team has painstakingly pored over each and every entry to bring together a selection of candidates for our expert judging panel to consider over the coming weeks.
The 2020 awards are taking place in digital form due to the ongoing safeguarding measures in place across the country to contain the spread of COVID-19. The winners will be announced during Awards Week between 23rd and 25th June and will be featured in a special awards edition of Installation magazine in July.
For the first time, the awards also features the inaugural Pro AV Power 20 list which is also announced today, and contains 20 of the most influential professionals in the global AV marketplace. The ranked list will be announced in the weeks leading up to Awards Week in June.
