AV AWARDS AMERICAS: A NEW BENCHMARK FOR AV EXCELLENCE

Celebrating the best in audiovisual innovation across the Western Hemisphere!

AV Magazine is proud to launch the AV Awards Americas, a brand-new accreditation program created exclusively for the professional AV community across the United States, Canada, Latin America, and the Caribbean. As a regional extension of the globally respected AV Awards, this initiative shines a spotlight on the most outstanding projects, technologies, businesses, and people driving innovation, transformation, and impact across the Americas.

The 2025 winners will be revealed online in February 2026 through an official results announcement. Winners who purchase a Logo Package or the PR & Marketing Package will benefit from extensive promotional exposure throughout 2026 in the lead-up to InfoComm. While there will be no in-person awards ceremony in Year 1, we will instead host a dedicated Winners’ Party at InfoComm 2026, an opportunity to celebrate achievements and connect with industry peers in a vibrant networking setting.

AV Awards Americas have been designed to deliver lasting industry recognition. With rigorous, transparent judging and high-value benefits for winners, the program puts substance over spectacle, ensuring that achievement and impact take center stage.
