Submissions for a Best Project of the year completed in 2024 can be made in any of the following topics:

  • Global landmark projects using steel to reduce embodied and/or operational carbon emissions.
  • Construction project with intensive and enhanced steel usage e.g.:
    • Steel grades
    • Steel applications
    • Quantity
    • Construction method
    • Aesthetics
    • Total costs
    • Collaboration throughout the supply chain
  • Global landmark projects using steel as the construction material of choice.

Prize

The prize will be delivered during the awards ceremony to take place at the constructsteel annual conference in (date and location TBD).

  • A constructsteel Award trophy to be awarded.
  • A slot in the constructsteel annual conference will be provided to showcase the project/practice/innovation/solution.
  • Social media promotion via constructsteel communications channels.
  • Free registration to constructsteel’s steel solution platform (for 3 years).
  • Opportunities to engage with steel producing constructsteel members in various global locations.
  • constructsteel assumes costs related to hotel and flight for the winner to attend the constructsteel conference.

Judging panel and criteria

  • There will be a judging panel consisting of internal and external judges. The external judges are the constructsteel Global Advisory Committee (GAC) and they will do the first round of review or pre-selection. Pre-selected nominations will then be sent to the constructsteel Leadership Team for the second round of review. Final scores reflect scores of both external and internal judges.
  • Projects that prioritize material efficiency through reduction, reuse, recyclability, and innovative manufacturing processes will be given greater weight by the Global Award Committee (GAC).
  • Based on the supporting evidence provided, the judges will assign a rating (1-10) for each criterion. The following is an example illustrating the overall score for a nomination.
