IDEAS Awards Info
Do you have a cutting-edge steel project on the ground or on the horizon? The structural steel industry’s highest design honor is calling your name!
Created and sponsored by the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), the prestigious IDEAS Awards honor beautiful, innovative, and sustainable projects that illustrate the exciting possibilities of building with structural steel.
AISC has identified and celebrated game-changing structures for decades—and yours could be next!
While winning designs can range from smaller-scale, less-publicized projects like Saxum Vineyard Equipment Barn to landmark structures like the Las Vegas Sphere, all IDEAS Award winners share a commitment to imaginative design.
And, of course, you can’t celebrate forward-thinking design without celebrating the structures of the future! If you have something cool on the boards, it could be a great candidate for the inaugural IDEAS|next award. This brand-new award celebrates innovation in the making.
It’s time to take your biggest, brightest ideas on a victory lap! AISC is now accepting project entries.
