EISA Awards 2021-22

EISA, the Expert Imaging and Sound Association has revealed the winners of its 2021-2022 Awards and being the sole representative of EISA in India, Smart Photography is pleased to bring you the results in real-time.

For nearly 40 years, EISA has been selecting the most innovative, cutting-edge products for its prestigious awards. The Awards are debated and voted upon by groups of specialist judging panels, covering the full spectrum of consumer electronics products, including Hi-Fi, Home Theatre Audio and Video, In-Car Electronics, Photography and Mobile Devices. The key to the success and relevance of the annual EISA Awards lies in the evolution of its categories, always reflecting the changing trends and technologies of the consumer electronics world.

Moreover, the association itself continues to evolve and expand. In 2018, EISA welcomed new members from India, Japan and Hong Kong/China, just as the old EISA acronym (European Imaging and Sound Association) became the Expert Imaging and Sound Association. During 2019, the association swelled its ranks with additional members from the USA, Poland, Norway, Italy and Russia – enlarging EISA’s global footprint still further.

To win an EISA award, all products undergo a comprehensive multi-step judging process. So, while EISA’s annual Convention in Antwerp in May and Awards Meeting in June were, once again, both cancelled due to the pandemic, the comprehensiveness of the association’s product testing was not diminished. EISA hosted no fewer than 40 webinars that put new technologies and brands in front of our expert editorial audience. This, combined with regular video conferences for our Expert Groups, and the shipment of products between member countries, allowed our judging to extend over many months, fuelling lengthy and highly informed discussions. EISA’s democratic voting process was reinforced, establishing a consensus of excellence that ultimately determined the winning products.
