Call For Submissions: Digital Trends’ Top Tech of CES 2021 Awards

By

PORTLAND, Ore., November 20, 2020 — This year’s CES will be like none other. The world’s biggest consumer technology trade show is fast approaching, but with pandemic restrictions, the annual convergence of premarket prototypes and prelaunch sneak peeks will be entirely remote.

This means more than ever, Digital Trends will be the optimal gateway to CES, and the best way to experience the 2021 convention. The virtual format allows for an unprecedented scale and an in-depth look at the innovations shaping a better world, and the human stories behind them.

And we need your help! For the first time in years, Digital Trends is calling for submissions for our Top Tech at CES Awards.

Last year’s highest award went to a thought-controlled robotic arm, and 2019’s winner was a redesigned and greatly improved Impossible Burger, which debuted to gagging vegans and gushing ecologists. We’ll also choose winners for these categories:

  • Automotive
  • Computing
  • Gaming
  • Home Theater
  • Smart Home
  • Mobile
  • Entertainment

The Tech for Change award, formerly a subcategory within Top Tech of CES, has grown into its own awards competition. We’ll be releasing more info soon about the new Tech for Change Awards, along with how to submit entries for considerations.

Another first this year will be the Digital Trends Reader’s Choice Awards, which will allow our enormous audience the opportunity to select their favorite new products from the giant technology show.

Got a Submission for Top Tech at CES?

We’re looking for real products geared toward regular people, not businesses, that are formally debuting at CES 2021 and are expected to go on sale within the year. Preference will be given to products we can physically receive and handle. We won’t be accepting vaporware of any kind. We’ll judge entries based on how innovative they are as well as how they stand to enhance people’s lives in new ways. We’ll consider multiple entries from the same person or company, but we encourage you to narrow it down to only your very best before submitting. Please note that Digital Trends honors embargoes and non-disclosure agreements.

Eligible products need to be in our editors’ hands by December 31st. If you have an upcoming product that won’t be ready until January, please give us advance notice. We’ll consider exceptions on a case-by-case basis.

Submit your product here!

The best COVID tech of CES 2021: Smart masks and sanitizers
Razer Project Hazel

As a COVID-19 vaccination slowly rolls out across the country, the end of a nearly yearlong pandemic may be inching closer, but there's still work to be done to protect everyone, from frontline health care works to those of us working from home. Fortunately, many tech companies focused their development efforts in 2020 on products that can help combat the spread of the novel coronavirus -- and many of those products were unveiled at CES 2021.

From personal products like smart face masks and sanitizers built for car consoles to business solutions like autonomous UV robots, CES 2021 has been full of interesting, and potentially lifesaving, technology debuts.

At CES 2021, TCL put all other TV makers on notice: We’re just getting started
TCL Mini LED

I'd like to take a moment, now that CES 2021 is heading into its final hours, to acknowledge TCL.

Ten years ago, I attended CES 2011. Among the enormous booths from TV titans like Sony, Panasonic, Samsung, and LG was a smaller booth from a brand I had never heard of. Yep, it was TCL. Looking around that booth and taking in the sights of the many TVs TCL was showing off, I had only one thought: Man, what bunch of junk.
