SDM's Project of the Year

—
Recognizing outstanding projects, regardless of size or field, and the dealers and integrators that bring them to life!

Submission Deadline: January 15, 2023

The SDM Project of the Year must be for a North American commercial project started, completed, upgraded or ongoing over the past 14 months (November 2022 through January 2023). Nominations must include a named customer that agrees to the case study’s publication, but initial nominations can be submitted before getting all the permissions.

The project should demonstrate at least one of the following: extraordinary resources, unique applications or integrations, an interesting story or customer, or an intriguing challenge solved by the dealer or integrator. The award will go to the security dealer or integrator who performed the work, but anyone may nominate a project, including the end user, manufacturing partner, distributor, dealer or integrator.

If you know of a project that meets these criteria, please complete the quick and easy online nomination form and return it to SDM.

Applying for SDM’s Project of the Year Award is a two-part process.

• Projects can be nominated by others, or companies can nominate their own projects to receive the formal application.
• Projects meeting the basic qualifications outlined in the nomination form will receive the formal application from SDM and need to return it by a specific deadline.

After SDM’s editorial staff receives all applications, we review and score them individually, then meet to compare scores and determine a winner. Once we select the winner, we’ll notify them and schedule a photo shoot and interview. SDM will profile the winning project in our August issue and on the website.

To apply, complete and return the online nomination form so it arrives in SDM’s inbox no later than January 15, 2023. SDM will send the nominated integrators a questionnaire asking for more detailed information about the project.
