Why Enter?
Entering your new product(s) in the Edge Award competition will provide exposure for your products and your company. Accepted entries will receive online coverage of their product to be distributed through our various channels, including magazines, newsletters, websites, and social media.
Who Can Vote
Voting will be open ONLY to all eligible and qualified readers of Machine Design, Electronic Design, Power & Motion, Microwaves & RF, Laser Focus World, Military + Aerospace Electronics, and Vision Systems Design who work in the engineering community. Ineligible votes from non-qualified participants will not be considered.

Winners and Honorees, and the Leading Edge Award Winner
There will be a winner and two honorees highlighted for each category (categories subject to change at the editors' discretion contingent on the scope of products received). Winners will receive a physical award commemorating their product’s win to showcase at your office and at your booth at key industry events. The single product that receives the highest number of votes across all categories will receive the Leading Edge Award.
