It's all about Innovation
AE50 Awards Latest Winners
Deadline - September 25
Nominate Your Products
Do you have qualifying products that have been first available for purchase or ordering during the 2020 calendar year?
Awards are presented at ASABE's annual Agricultural Equipment Technology Conference (AETC). The award-winning products are also highlighted in a special issue of ASABE's Resource magazine. The top ten winners are eligible for the prestigious Davidson Prize.
Today's AE50 winners include machines, systems, components, software and services ranked highest in innovation, significant engineering advancement and impact for the markets they serve. If you're proud of the product your company has brought to the market for 2020, consider nominating it for an AE50 award. For more details, see the guidelines and entry form below.
All nominations must be submitted through an online nomination website. The online nomination website will be opened for new nominations in August and it can be accessed here.
All AE50 winners will be invited to provide a short promotional video featuring their winning product. We’ll be
accepting videos that are no more than 30 seconds long, via YouTube link. The
video should include voiceover or text that identifies the product/process, the
manufacturer, and the benefit represented by product/process. The video will be
used to better understand the product/process and will help us showcase your
winning project at the Agricultural Equipment Technology Conference. The video
should focus on the technology advancement, not the company brand. Video links will be requested from AE50 winners shortly after being notified of their award.
