You get points for originality when you enter a flat-panel mounting contest.

Take the winning installation, announced at CEDIA Expo, of the second annual Mount This! contest, which ran on our sister website CE Pro. It’s not often you see a 90-pound flat panel mounted on a log that looks more suited to hold a missing cat flyer.

You get points for saving space. Take the second-place installation, which mounts a TV on the side of a staircase.

You also get points for blending, which is featured in the third-place installation. If you were on a treasure hunt and had to find a TV in that kitchen, it would probably take you at least 30 minutes.

The Gold, Silver and Bronze winners of the Mount This! contest have raised the bar - and the many other submissions made judging difficult.
