Process and timeline
The EDN Innovation Awards carry special
meaning because the winners are chosen by a jury of their peers.
First, EDN accepts nominations from the industry via this Web
site. Though the exact dates vary from year to year, the nomination
period normally runs from early fall until mid November.
Next, working in panels organized by area of expertise, EDN’s
technical editors select the most deserving nominees as finalists.
Early in the new year, EDN publishes the names of the
finalists and information about them both in print and on this site.
EDN then invites its worldwide audience of engineers and
engineering managers to vote using an online ballot. The voting
period lasts about one month.
Finally, EDN uses a combination of these audience votes,
balloting by the EDN Editorial Advisory Board, and voting by EDN’s
editorial staff to determine the ultimate winners.
EDN presents the awards at a ceremony held the week of the Embedded Systems Conference (normally late March or early
April).
