AISC is now accepting entries for the
2027 IDEAS Awards.
Start your submission
The IDEAS Awards are looking for the freshest innovations to celebrate in the steel design and construction industry’s most prestigious competition, be they completed projects or individual aspects of completed projects.
You could even get recognition for your design before the project breaks ground! The new IDEAS|next Award recognizes concepts that are still on the boards. As long as you have a client and a site, you’re eligible!
We’re looking for exceptional projects that demonstrate how domestically fabricated structural steel fosters:
- Excellence in adaptive reuse;
- Excellence in architecture;
- Excellence in constructability;
- Excellence in engineering; and
- Excellence in sustainable design and construction.
Visit aisc.org/ideas-rules to learn more. The application deadline is August 31, 2026.
Ready for the national stage? Winners will be invited to present their project to the industry at the Architecture in Steel conference as part of NASCC: The Steel Conference (April 14 to 16, 2027, in Denver). They’ll also be featured in the May 2027 issue of Modern Steel Construction magazine and in other media throughout the year.
AISC will host an exclusive awards night where winners can mingle with top architects just before AIA27!
