Originally established in 1987 by the American Marketing Association, but an independent organization since 2008, the Edison Awards™ have recognized and honored some of the most innovative products and business leaders in the world and is among the most prestigious accolades honoring excellence in new product and service development, marketing,
design and innovation.
Annually, beginning in September, nominations are sought from product and service innovators in fifteen categories. Nominations are vetted by members of the Edison Award Steering Committee, who present a slate of finalists to the Panel of Judges. The panel is comprised of more than 3,000 senior business executives and academics from across the nation, whose votes acknowledge excellence in meeting the award criteria - concept, value, delivery and impact.
Awards are presented at an annual event (usually in April), which is followed by a carefully crafted media campaign focused on promoting the winners and their achievements.
A percentage of every nomination fee is a tax deductible contribution used to help tell the broader story of innovation, advance the values and principles of Thomas A. Edison and other accomplished innovators, to fund programs and conferences dedicated to innovation and education and to fund the development of new innovation curricula. These activities are conducted through a not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) sister organization, Edison Universe.
