2015 Edison Award Finalists Announced

February 11, 2015

The Edison Awards is pleased to announce the nominees whose innovative new products and services have achieved Finalist status in the 2015 Edison Awards competition.

These nominees, as judged by a panel of more than 3,000 professionals from the fields of product development, design, engineering, science, marketing and education, represent a broad spectrum of innovation and creativity across 12 primary categories.

“We were privileged to receive so many fascinating and exciting new innovations that were nominated this year,” said Mindy Manes, the Edison Awards’ COO. “Our Steering Committee members had a challenging job of reviewing the hundreds of nominations against our Award criteria to arrive at the ballot of 166 Finalists, an unprecedented number in our 28 year history.”

Finalists will learn whether they’ve won a Gold, Silver or Bronze Edison Award when the winners are announced during the April 23rd event in New York City.
