Edison Awards for Innovation Last Call for Judges

Edison Awards for Innovation Last Call for Judges Edison Awards for Innovation Last Call for Judges ASME is pleased to join with the Edison Awards organization to help identify game-changing products, services and leadership in innovation across a wide variety of industries and disciplines. To make this possible, ASME members are invited to join the Edison Awards judges panel and vote on nominations they find to represent the best and most innovative product or service development. Nominees will be judged in four key areas: concept, value, delivery and impact. Entries represent 12 different award categories ranging from consumer packaged goods to energy and sustainability. Judges may vote in any or all categories and sub-categories as they choose. An electronic ballot is available now through Feb 10. Edison representatives estimate that thorough review and judging of each category and sub-category would require a total of approximately 90 minutes. Participants may spend as much or as little time as they like, and may pause and continue as often as necessary. Interested ASME members can use the Vote Now button (below) to view instructions and start the judging process. As an added benefit of judging the Edison Awards, participating ASME members will receive a 10 percent discount on registration for the 2013 Edison Awards live event, which this year will take place April 24-25 in Chicago. The two-day program includes the popular Meet the Innovators Forum, featuring panel discussions and organized networking sessions involving all participants, and an Innovators' Showcase, in which nominees will present their nominated products and services. The program will conclude with the black-tie gala 2013 Edison Awards Presentation. An independent organization since 2008, the Edison Awards were originally established in 1987 by the American Marketing Association.
