Entry guidelines
Step 1 - Complete the online entry form
Use the link above to tell us the key information about your project. The form takes approx. 10 mimutes to complete. Once you have completed the entry form, you will receive a unique Entry ID.
IMPORTANT: you must have obtained permission from all parties involved with the project before starting an
entry.
Step 2 - Submit your written report and supporting documents
You will need to complete and submit a written report using the template provided to tell the judges about your project. Photos, drawings or sketches can be included within this report to support and illustrate your entry.
Each project will be judged solely on the information provided in the written submission and supporting documents. The report should detail the structural engineering characteristics of the project and explain why you think the project deserves to win a Structural Award.
The report is structured as 5 questions:
- Detailed project description. Please tell us the story of your project. (mandatory)
- How does this project demonstrate structural engineering excellence through its response to the impact that it will have had on our planet? (mandatory)
- How does the structural engineering of this project demonstrate excellence in terms of its impact on the people involved with the project, and the end-users of the project?
- How do the processes behind the structural design and/or construction of this project demonstrate excellence?
- How has this project advanced the structural engineering profession?
The maximum word count for the written report is 1750 words. You can choose to focus on one attribute or address as many you wish to.
To facilitate ‘blind’ judging please do not include your company name in the written submission.
You must also submit:
- A completed cover sheet using the provided template.
- At least 10 high quality photographs of the project. Each photo must be uploaded as a single image file but can also be added into the written report where relevant.
- At least two full page engineering drawings showing the general arrangement and typical sections and/or details of the structure
- Carbon calculations using The Structural Awards Carbon Tool provided.
- Links to any video files that provide context for the project (optional).
