Owned and produced by CTA, CES 2019 features the Innovation Awards Showcase in Tech West, the Venetian, Venetian Ballroom E/F, in Las Vegas.

An annual program that celebrates outstanding design, the CES Innovation Awards recognizes honorees across 28 product categories. A panel of judges, including designers, engineers and also members of the tech media, review submissions. Their review is based on design, functionality, consumer appeal, engineering as well as how the products compare with competitors.

Moreover, the Innovation Awards program bestows two levels of recognition. Honorees are products or technologies that score above the threshold set for a specific category. In addition, the Best of Innovation designation is given to only the highest-rated product or technology in each category—or to multiple, in the event of a tie.
