The distinguished awards symbolize the persistence and excellence personified by Thomas Alva Edison, inspiring America's drive to remain in the forefront of innovation, creativity, and ingenuity in the global economy.
"This year's awards recognize a broad array of innovations, including far-reaching products, services, and technologies that impact daily life," said Edison Awards Steering Committee chair, Sarah Miller Caldicott, a great-grandniece of Thomas Edison. "The awards applaud the forward-thinking innovations for which Thomas Edison remains internationally admired. It's exciting to see companies like AccuDial continuing his legacy of challenging conventional thinking."

The ballot of nominees for the Edison Best New Product Awards is judged by roughly 2,000 members of the not-for-profit Marketing Executives Networking Group (MENG), an organization comprising America's top marketing professionals and academics. In a comprehensive peer-review process, the nominees are judged on Marketplace Innovation, Marketplace Success, Technological Innovation, Market Structure Innovation, Societal Impact, and Design Innovation.
Winners of the gold, silver, and bronze awards will be announced April 5, 2011, at the historic Capitale ballroom in New York. In addition to announcing this year's Best New Product Award recipients, the evening will feature the presentation of the prestigious Edison Achievement Award to Alan Mulally, CEO of Ford Motor Company, and to John Hendricks, founder and chairman of Discovery Communications, both of whom have made a significant and lasting contribution to innovation throughout their careers.
