The Structural Awards 2024

For over 50 years the Structural Awards have showcased structural engineering excellence. Engineering changes in response to the needs of a society; but creative design and outstanding structural engineering always endure and are always celebrated at the Awards. Will your project become an icon of the future?

Description
One of the things that makes the Structural Awards unique is that we no longer have traditional award categories. This is because we want to be able to recognise the very best structural engineering projects each year without limitations.
Our judging panel eagerly anticipates entries showcasing remarkable accomplishments, whether
from small-scale projects with profound local impact to large-scale complex endeavours. This open approach reflects our commitment to honouring excellence in structural engineering excellence wherever it may be found.
The only requirement is that your project celebrates the incredible skill of structural engineers in relation to at least one of the four key attributes of Planet, People, Process and Profession.
