Now in its eighth year, the AEC Excellence Awards—co-sponsored by Autodesk, Construction Dive, SmartCities Dive, Society for Marketing Professional Services (SMPS), and Informed Infrastructure—relies on the expertise of an international, independent group of thought leaders and practitioners to honor the innovative people and projects submitted to the competition.

This year we welcome both new and returning judges for the AEC Excellence Awards 2019, and we’re grateful for their commitment to the difficult job of determining the winners from a wide field of incredible submissions.

The AEC Excellence Awards 2019 is open for submissions through June 4, 2019. After this time, the judges will deliberate and choose the finalists that will be announced in August. Visit www.aecexcellence.com.
