Earlier this month, the CEA had narrowed down its short list for the 2011 Mark of Excellence Awards. Now, we have a few winners to congratulate.
The awards were developed to “recognize outstanding achievement and innovation in custom home electronics products, services and installation.” The winners were announced at a reception at last week’s Electronic House Expo (EHX) 2011 in Orlando, Florida.
Aside from the category announcements, Roland Graham, founder and president of HDHomes.tv, received the TechHome Leadership Award. Graham is also the co-founder and former president of AVDMedia.
