Award Use Rules

Recipients of awards presented by the Custom Electronic Design and Installation Association “CEDIA” are allowed to display the awards that they have won from CEDIA. All display or advertisement of such awards must be truthful and may not be misleading, inaccurate or ambiguous. Specifically, but without limitation, the recipients and member companies who employ individual recipients, must abide by the following rules.

1. Any company which displays or advertises a CEDIA award must correctly identify the recipient of the award, and if the recipient is an individual employee of the company, the company must state so.
2. If the award recipient is an individual, a company may display the award only so long as that individual is employed by the company, unless the individual grants express permission for the company to display the award after termination of the employee’s employment.
3. All awards must be displayed or advertised with the correct name of the award.
4. The entity that displays the award must state conspicuously: the year in which the award was won, or that the recipient is a “past recipient” of the award.
5. Any display or advertisement of the CEDIA award may not include any statement or implication of CEDIA’s approval or sponsorship of the entity displaying the award or any other entity, other than the fact that the award was presented by CEDIA to the recipient.
6. No company may display CEDIA’s logo in connection with displaying or advertising the award unless that company is a member of CEDIA, or unless the CEDIA logo is incorporated into the award as presented by CEDIA.
7. No entity may alter the appearance of the award itself or any reproduction of the award for display purposes.
8. No award may be duplicated or copied except by photographic means and then only for inclusion in advertising the award.
