CEA Announces 2009 Mark Of Excellence Award Finalists
Each year the Consumer Electronics Association awards top electronics companies with the Mark Of excellence Award. These awards cover a bunch of categories meant to reward companies who put forth outstanding achievements in custom home electronics, services and installations.
There are a lot of categories here which don’t include Media Center, but I thought I’d post the whole thing from the press release. The awards won’t be handed out until March 13th at EHX but this’ll give you a good idea of what we can expect in consumer electronics in the year to come.
