The Structural Awards 2017 are now open for entries and submissions close on Monday 10 April.
The Awards, hosted annually by The Institution of Structural Engineers, are the world’s leading celebration of structural engineering, and winning an Award is a symbol of excellence that is recognised around the world.
This year the Awards feature new categories - designed by the judges to better reflect engineering innovation and achievement.
The judges decided to update the categories to place a stronger emphasis on the structural characteristics of a project, rather than the type of structure.
For instance, in the previous system, long span structures might have qualified for both the “healthcare” and “commercial” categories. The new categories better represent the judges’ primary interest in engineering accomplishment and will therefore better celebrate engineering excellence in the built environment.
The new categories:
The Structural Awards 2017 also feature a new judging process. From 2017 onwards the Structural Awards will feature a two-stage judging process.
After the first stage, any judges with a possible conflict of interest in any shortlisted project will withdraw and a second stage jury panel will select the winners. The changes have been made simply to deliver a clearer judging process for those entering The Structural Awards.
This year's event will be the 50th Awards celebration. Shortlisted candidates will be announced in August, and the Awards ceremony will take place on Friday 17 November at the Brewery, London.
