The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)® today announced its 2011 CES Best of Innovations Design and Engineering Award Honorees. The International CES Innovations Awards honor outstanding advancements in design and engineering across 35 consumer electronics product categories.

“This prestigious awards program gives consumer technology manufacturers and developers an opportunity to have their products judged by a distinguished panel of designers, engineers and press,” said Gary Shapiro, president and CEO, CEA. “The strength of this year’s submissions demonstrates the vitality and innovation within the CE industry. We congratulate all finalists for their engineering creativity and design acumen.”

The Best of Innovations Awards are earned by the products with the highest judges’ scores and will be featured in the Innovations 2011 Design and Engineering Showcase in the Grand Lobby of the Las Vegas Convention Center at the 2011 International CES. The world’s largest consumer technology tradeshow will run January 6-9, 2011.
