Engineering Excellence Awards

The Engineering Excellence Awards are an annual design competition provided by the American Council of Engineering Companies of Georgia (ACEC Georgia). The Engineering Excellence Awards recognize engineering achievements demonstrating the highest degree of merit and ingenuity. Entries are rated on the basis of uniqueness and originality; future value to the engineering profession; social, economic and sustainable development considerations; complexity; and successful fulfillment of client/owner’s needs. The Awards offer all competition entrants a valuable opportunity to be recognized by showcasing their talent, their expertise and their profession.

All winners will be recognized during the Georgia Engineering Awards. The March 14th event has been postponed until  August 29th 2020 at the Whitley in Buckhead, Ga . The 2021 ACEC Georgia Engineering Excellence Awards will open again for submissions in late August 2020.

Eligibility

Any firm maintaining a Georgia office and engaged in the private practice of consulting engineering is eligible to enter. Projects executed anywhere in the world are eligible; however, the firm’s Georgia office must have had a leadership role in the project (designed in Georgia) to be eligible.

Studies, Research and Consulting Engineering Services (Category 1) or survey and mapping projects (included in Category 10) must have been publicly disclosed by the client between November 1, 2017, and October 31, 2019. Construction of projects (Categories 2-10) must have been substantially completed and ready for use between November 1, 2017 and October 31, 2019. The completed official entry form must be signed by both the entrant and the client/owner (senior executives/officials) confirming this fact. Company representative may be contacted by phone by judging panel. 

Engineering projects may be entered in one of ten categories. A project may be entered only once in any category. However, after a project entered in Category 1 has been constructed, it may be entered in a different category in the eligible year.

ACEC Georgia guidelines are used for Georgia submissions only. If a submittal receives a State Award, the firm can choose to submit for a national award. If submitting for a national award, please follow the guidelines outlined by ACEC National, as they differ from Georgia.
