There are 11 awards categories designed to reflect the breadth of projects for which structural engineers are responsible; the Supreme Award for Structural Engineering Excellence is awarded to the finest example of structural engineering design from the winners of the main categories.

Structures entered must have been completed in the last year between 7 April 2006 and 13 April 2007.

The final deadline for submissions is Friday 13th April 2007 and the project shortlist will be announced Friday 3rd August 2007.

The 2006 Awards saw the number of entries increase five-fold on 2005, so the Structural Awards 2007 are expected to be even more successful.
