The AVIXA AV Experience Awards, which “recognize the innovative integration of content, space, and audiovisual technology to enrich experiences,” are back for 2021.
“Last year, AVIXA created the AV Experience Awards to recognize result-driven projects, answering the question: how did AV make a desired experience possible?” said AVIXA senior director of communications Joé Lloyd in the association announcement.
“In its first year, we saw projects where AV was being applied in imaginative ways around the world—from New York to Copenhagen, to London to Nanjing. We’re looking forward to again witnessing the work of the talented AV community,” she said.

The 2021 award categories “showcase how thoughtful design and execution achieve the projects’ distinct goals,” according to the AVIXA announcement.
The Best Dynamic Art Experience award celebrates AV as art – whether it is to amaze, create a cultural centerpiece, energize people for their day, reinvigorate a functional space, or display information in a stimulating way.
The Best In-Person Experience award recognizes when AV is used strategically to motivate potential attendees to get out into the real world to experience something they can’t see, do, or feel anywhere else.
The Best Individualized Experience award highlights applications where technology gets personal and allows an experience or interaction to be tailored to the individual.
The Best Immersive Experience award recognizes illusionary or simulated environments that envelop individuals into an encompassing multi-sensory experience utilizing content, space, and technology.
The Best Flexible Space Experience award highlights AV applications that create spaces that are constantly changing, adaptable, and facilitate the activities that happen within them.
