Engineering Excellence Awards
ACEC of Kansas accepts applications for Engineering Excellence statewide awards, recognizing innovative and outstanding examples of engineering.
Please Click Here for the 2023 official Call for Entries Brochure and Entry Form. There are a few changes to this year's application and they are described on the EEA Submission Changes Form.
ACEC of Kansas uses the same Call for Entries brochure and entry form as ACEC national. In order to apply for an award at national, your award must win at the state level first and be recommended for national entry. Using the same brochure makes it easier after the Kansas Awards are judged, for winning projects to submit their entry to the national awards program.
Please note that while ACEC national has gone electronic with its submissions, ACEC of Kansas requires a hardcopy form and supporting materials to be submitted to our office by the deadline date listed below. The electronic project submission form link will not be used in the Kansas awards program.
There are twelve project categories:
- Studies, Research, and Consulting Engineering Services
- Building/Technology Systems
- Structural Systems
- Surveying and Mapping Technology
- Environmental
- Water and Storm Water
- Water Resources
- Transportation
- Special Projects
- Small Projects
- Energy
- Industrial and Manufacturing Processes and Facilities
Please reference the Engineering Excellence Awards Checklist before submitting your project.
The Kansas competition guidelines are the same as the national competition guidelines, except for the following:
- Kansas awards must be submitted hard copy to the ACEC of Kansas office (825 S.Kansas Ave suite 500 Topeka, KS 66612).
- The Kansas awards competition does NOT require you to submit the following:
a. Photographic Display Panel.
b. Flash drive. Paper copies of the entry materials are sufficient
c. PowerPoint presentation
Your Kansas project entry must be delivered to the ACEC of Kansas office no later than December 2, 2022. This allows time for the projects to be judged locally and for winning firms to submit an entry to ACEC National by their deadline of January 13, 2023.
Winning state entries will be awarded a plaque that will be mailed to the Firm Representative contact. There will be no formal presentation of awards - ACEC of Kansas strongly encourages member firms to take the initiative to make personal contact with the project client to celebrate the win.
The state entry fee is $150 ($300 for non-members). Please make your check payable to ACEC of Kansas. If your entry is a state winner and you wish to continue on to the national competition, we will advise on how to submit the national entry fee ($1,200 for ACEC members and $3,600 for non-members).
