The Judges’ Citation Award is not chosen from among the Best of Category Awards. Rather, the judges consider all products submitted and select a product worthy of note. Often a product may be playful, establish a technical milestone, represent a special uniqueness, or evoke something personal in the judges: “I want one!” “I have a project right now for which this is made!” “Why haven’t we seen this before?”, or “It’s about time!”
