Now open for entries, the 1st Annual A+Firm Awards is an international awards program designed to celebrate ALL teams that make the world’s best architecture a reality — including engineers. While we appreciate the amazing work that architects do, and celebrate their projects each year through the A+Awards, we believe it is vital that other collaborators are recognized for the crucial role they play in creating exemplary buildings.

If you are part of a talented team of structural engineers, register your firm for what promises to be one of the most distinguished accolades in the global AEC industry:

The A+Firm Award for Engineers can be found within the Specialization Categories, a section dedicated to those with specific expertise that make up a key part of the project delivery process. The Engineering Award is dedicated to engineering firms and multidisciplinary architecture firms demonstrating excellence in structural engineering.

Firms should submit 3 to 6 built projects in which they played a key engineering role. Projects can be from any of the typologies, at any scale, and from any region.
