2026 Engineering Excellence Awards Gala

Recognizing the leading engineering contributions to our profession

Join us as we celebrate the remarkable achievements shaping our industry at the 59th Annual Engineering Excellence Awards on February 6, 2026. This year's entries showcase forward-thinking design, creative problem-solving, and the extraordinary talent that continues to position Washington as a leader in engineering innovation. These awards shine a spotlight on the partnership between design professionals and their clients, bringing exceptional projects to center stage.

Often called the "Academy Awards" of Engineering, this event gives firms and their teams well-earned recognition from peers, clients, and the broader community. It's a moment to appreciate the impact these projects have on our economy, our infrastructure, and our daily lives.

The evening will also feature the presentation of the 65th Annual Engineer of the Year Award, honoring an individual whose leadership, dedication, and contributions have elevated the engineering profession.

We will also recognize our Excellence in Inclusion Award recipients. These firms are leading the way in building diverse, welcoming, and equitable workplaces that strengthen both their teams and the communities they serve.
