Only the most innovative and ground-breaking KNX projects receive the most important award for home and building system technology. And taking part in the competition is worthwhile: after all, the "best of the best" is guaranteed wide-ranging attention and high demand.

Applications must be submitted by the 30th of November, 2019 at https://projects.knx.org.

Promoting innovative spirit, ingenuity and know-howKnown as the Smart Home and Smart Building World Championship, the KNX Awards, which are awarded every two years, have firmly established themselves as an institution in the industry. "With the competition, we want to particularly honour the spirit of innovation, ingenuity and know-how in the implementation of ambitious KNX projects. We are therefore proud to continue the tradition and the extremely successful history of the competition and look forward to the many exciting projects that will compete for the coveted KNX Awards this time," explains KNX President Franz Kammerl.
