Voting Process
The nominees and winners
of the TEC Awards are determined through a
three-step process. In June, a “Call
for Entries” is posted on the TEC Foundation
website, and emailed to audio manufacturers
and sound production professionals. Initial
selections are made in August by a Nominating
Panel comprising more than 200 prominent professionals
from all areas of the audio industry.
Nominees are selected in 27 categories of
Technical Achievement and Creative Achievement.
Eligible nominees are those projects or products
that, in the opinion of the Nominating Panel,
represent superior accomplishment in their
respective fields. This year, these products
or works must have been completed, released
or performed during the period beginning
July 1, 2010 and ending August 31, 2011.
Names and descriptions of the nominated products
and projects are posted in October on the
TEC Foundation website. Members of various
professional organizations and qualified
subscribers to leading pro audio publications
may register online and vote for the TEC
Awards using a secure online ballot during
the month of November. The winners’ names
are kept in confidence until the TEC Awards
ceremony, presented in January at the NAMM
