THE CATEGORIES
INNOVATION CHAMPION
Innovation can take the form of a new product, like a piece of equipment or a software tool; a process or way of working; or a project that combines elements in a new way. Innovations might be developed by an individual or company, a project joint venture, a trade association, or a university department.
The Engineering Matters Innovation Champion awards recognise all forms of innovation in engineering. Bronze awards may be granted to great ideas that still need to be proven commercially, or to a widely adopted change that brings slight, but significant, gains. Innovations granted a Gold award will need to demonstrate their performance across the judging criteria.
This is a judge selected category. All entries in all categories will be considered for the Innovation Champion.
All entries for the Engineering Matters Awards will be considered for the Innovation Champion Award.
Originality
All innovators learn from the past. Truly great innovators take earlier ideas, and combine or build upon them in novel ways. Entrants should show how they built on the past in a new way.
Impact
It’s not enough to be original. Innovation can make projects cheaper, safer, more sustainable or more efficient. Entrants should show the benefits their innovations bring, in a measurable and verifiable way.
Scope
Some innovations can have great impact, but are only suitable for use on a small number of projects; others have only slight benefits, but are widely applicable. Entrants should show, in a measurable way, the potential scope of their innovation.
Feasibility
Innovations can only have impact and scope if they can be easily adopted, and are financially viable. The judges will consider how cost, equipment or site requirements, or intellectual property rights, might restrict an innovation’s adoption. Entrants should show that their innovations can be widely adopted.
Collaborative effort
The level of collaboration and cooperation required to develop the innovation must be evaluated. The product should be the result of a team effort, and the contributions of individual team members must be recognised.
NET ZERO CHAMPION
Governments and organisations around the world are setting ambitious Net Zero goals. But how will we achieve those goals? Progress on Net Zero will require new technology to eliminate carbon emissions. It will also require smarter planning of projects and supply chains, and new tools to accurately predict, measure and report emissions.
The Engineering Matters Net Zero Champion awards recognise projects, processes, and tools that make a real contribution to reducing carbon emissions. Entrants should demonstrate measurable and verifiable benefits. The highest awards will be given to those entries that demonstrate significant impact or widespread scope, or that overcome a specific challenge.
To enter the awards you will need to fill out the simple entry form above and undergo an interview with one of our researchers or judges. Your interview should demonstrate:
Impact
The entry should show a measurable impact on carbon emissions. More weight will be given to entries that demonstrate real world benefits, not just potential impacts.
Scope
Some entries will eliminate emissions from a single source, solving a problem that had previously been hard to fix. Others may not have such a great impact, but can be used to reduce emissions from a wide number of sources. Entries should demonstrate their actual and potential scope.
Originality
A new world will be built upon new ideas. To achieve Net Zero, we will need new tools, technologies, and engineering techniques. Entrants should show what is novel about their entry.
Feasibility
In the long term, Net Zero is likely to require widespread electrification, entirely new power sources, and broad changes to how we all live. But we must reduce carbon emissions right now if we are not to face disastrous climate change. Entrants should show how they can deliver benefits, efficiently and effectively, today.
Verifiability
As organisations aim to reduce their Scope 3 emissions—those from their supply chain—they need to work with partners and suppliers who can accurately report their own emissions. Entrants should show how the benefits of their entry can be reported, in an efficient and easily adoptable way; or, their entry should make it easier for others to perform their own reporting.
Collaborative effort
The level of collaboration and cooperation required to develop the project must be evaluated. The achievement should be the result of a team effort, and the contributions of individual team members must be recognised.
DIVERSITY & INCLUSION CHAMPION
We all work better, when we all work together. But many people are not given the chance to develop and contribute their skills. Sometimes tangible barriers prevent people contributing as engineers: sites can be hard to access for people with mobility issues; working hours can put off those with caring responsibilities, and promotion policies can hold back those who take time off to parent a young family; local schools may not teach the right skills for an engineering career. Other barriers are less tangible: recruiters’ prejudices can stop them seeing candidates’ full potential; those who might be able to make a contribution as engineers, can fail to see a place for people like them in the industry.
The Engineering Matters Diversity & Inclusion awards recognises organisations and projects that have helped open the industry to a wider range of employees.
To enter the awards you will need to fill out the simple entry form above and undergo an interview with one of our researchers or judges.
The judges will consider steps that have been taken to remove tangible and intangible barriers, and to reach potential recruits who may not have thought to pursue a career in engineering, or related fields. The highest awards will be granted to those who have worked with communities to make a measurable difference to the diversity of employees in their companies and on their job sites, or can demonstrate significant impact in removing obstacles for a specific group of potential employees.
Impact
It’s easy to make warm hearted statements about diversity, to declare policies that seek to build inclusion. But real change is measurable. Entrants should show how they have increased representation by a specific group, removed specific obstacles to entry and progression with measurable results, or how they have increased the overall diversity of their organisations and projects, at all levels.
Scope
Some interventions can make a big difference to inclusion at a specific job site, or in a single company or department. Others can have real benefits across an industry. The judges will grant the highest awards to those that can inspire others and can be efficiently implemented across a wide range of companies and projects.
SUSTAINABILITY CHAMPION
Sustainability ensures that we meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It promotes the conservation of natural resources, reduces waste and pollution, and supports social and economic stability. Without sustainability, we risk irreversible damage to our planet and its inhabitants.
The Engineering Matters Sustainability Champion awards recognise those playing a significant role in reducing waste, recycling materials or reusing materials.
To enter the awards you will need to fill out the simple entry form above and undergo an interview with one of our researchers or judges. Your interview should demonstrate:
Environmental impact
The extent to which the project, team, or innovation contributes to the protection and preservation of the environment.
Innovation
The level of creativity and originality in the design, implementation, and application of sustainable engineering practices. The project should demonstrate a novel approach to solving a problem or achieving a goal in a sustainable manner.
Scalability and replicability
The potential for the project to be scaled up or replicated in other contexts. The project should be designed in such a way that it can be easily adapted and replicated in different settings to achieve similar sustainable outcomes.
Economic viability
The economic feasibility and viability of the project. This could include factors such as the cost-effectiveness of the project, the potential for cost savings, and the overall return on investment.
Long-term sustainability
The likelihood that the project will be able to maintain its sustainable outcomes over the long term. This could include factors such as the durability and resilience of the project, its adaptability to changing circumstances, and its ability to generate ongoing benefits for the environment and society.
Overall, the project should demonstrate a strong commitment to sustainability in engineering, with a clear focus on achieving measurable and impactful sustainable outcomes.
HEALTH & SAFETY CHAMPION
Choices made by engineers can have profound impacts on the safety and wellbeing of construction workers, and of the public. Workers on construction sites face higher risks of accidents and of long term health problems. How projects are designed can have long lasting effects on the wellbeing of workers, users, and the general public.
The Engineering Matters Health & Safety award recognises projects, policies, and processes that deliver measurable reductions in accident rates, or improvements in long term health and wellbeing, throughout construction and operation. The highest awards will be granted to entries that demonstrate significant impact, and that demonstrate their widespread applicability.
To enter the awards you will need to fill out the simple entry form above and undergo an interview with one of our researchers or judges. Your interview should demonstrate:
Impact
Some interventions will remove or mitigate a specific accident risk. Others will have long term benefits to the well being of users and workers throughout a project’s operations. Entrants should demonstrate the impact of their entries, in a measurable way.
Scope
Design choices might remove a specific risk, on a single project. A new way of identifying risks may be applicable across an industry. Entrants should the scope of their entries, and their potential for widespread adoption.
Feasibility
Some health, safety, and wellbeing initiatives make use of new technology. Others just need a simple change to design, or to daily working practices. Broad initiatives, like best practice guides or new standards, are also valuable. The highest awards will go to initiatives that can be widely and efficiently implemented.
ENVIRONMENT CHAMPION
Engineering’s impacts on the environment go beyond carbon emissions. Engineering projects can boost biodiversity or improve access to nature. They can reduce the need for polluting transport modes, or mitigate the harms of climate change.
Design choices can also mitigate or reduce harmful impacts during the construction and operation of projects. They can reduce the need to use virgin materials, or can be designed with end-of-life reuse in mind. The Engineering Matters Environment Champion awards will recognise the teams, projects and innovations that help protect and restore the environment.
To enter the awards you will need to fill out the simple entry form above and undergo an interview with one of our researchers or judges. Your interview should demonstrate:
Goal
Engineering interacts with the environment in many ways. Entrants should explain the benefits they were seeking, or harms they sought to reduce.
Impact
Whatever the environmental goals of an initiative, they can only be properly assessed if they are measurable. Entrants should explain how they measured the results of their intervention, and what they achieved.
Scope
Environmental benefits may apply to a specific project. Or, an approach to the environment may be applicable across many projects. Entrants should explain the actual, and potential, scope of their work
Feasibility
Some environmental initiatives make use of new technology. Others just need a simple change to design, or to daily working practices. Broad initiatives, like best practice guides or environmental accounting standards, are also valuable. The highest awards will go to initiatives that can be widely and efficiently implemented.
COMMUNITY CHAMPION
The role of engineers in society is to solve problems and create a more liveable world. Through the development of a project or a product an engineer may have the opportunity to bring about a wider community benefit, beyond solving the primary problem. It is those choices that this award recognises.
The Engineering Matters Community Champion awards will recognise those making a significant contribution to supporting a community.
To enter the awards you will need to fill out the simple entry form above and undergo an interview with one of our researchers or judges. Your interview should demonstrate:
Impact
The project’s demonstrated impact on society and the community. This could include measurable outcomes such as job creation, improved access to education. The judges will also consider the extent to which the project demonstrates a commitment to social responsibility, including the impact on underrepresented groups, and any efforts to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Innovation
The extent to which the project demonstrates a new and creative approach to problem solving that brings additional community benefits.
Collaboration
The extent to which the project team collaborated with others, particularly within the community and the impact of that collaboration on the project’s success.
Scalability
The potential for the project to be replicated or scaled up in other contexts or locations, and the potential for the project to have a broader impact beyond its current scope.
Feasibility
The extent to which the project is feasible in terms of its design, implementation, and maintenance, and the likelihood of its long-term success.
THE JUDGING PROCESS
Entrants in the Engineering Matters Awards are not measured against other entries. Instead they are measured against a carefully created criteria that seeks to identify the best practice in each category. A Gold Award recognises the most significant and established successes. While silver and bronze awards recognise those with great potential. A bronze entry this year could well become a gold winner next year.
The Engineering Matters team has decades of experience in researching and reporting on the engineering industry. To ensure the integrity of the Engineering Matters Awards, the team will conduct their most thorough investigation into every entry, with additional interviews at each successive stage and by seeking independent opinions of experts with specialist knowledge relevant to the individual entry.
There may be multiple gold, silver or bronze category winners or none at all.
STAGE ONE: INITIAL SIFT
A single judge will review the nomination to ensure it meets the minimum criteria and is submitted to an appropriate category.
STAGE TWO: INTERVIEW
A researcher or judge will conduct a recorded interview with a representative of the nomination. This interview may be used to produce an Engineering Matters Short episode if the entrant is successfully shortlisted.
STAGE THREE: LONGLIST
Each nomination will be measured against the category criteria. To be long-listed the a single judge will need to be persuaded that the nomination has a realistic chance of meeting bronze level.
STAGE FOUR: SECOND INTERVIEW
A judge or researcher will conduct a second interview with knowledge of the nomination. Ideally the interviewee will have detailed knowledge of the nomination without being directly involved in its development, such as a client or industry advocate. Not all nominations will require a second interview. Having or not having a second interview is no indicator of the likelihood of winning an award. The interviews will be recorded and may be used to produce a full length episode of Engineering Matters for every Gold award.
STAGE FIVE: SHORTLIST
Two judges for each nomination will measure the entry against the category criteria. The thresholds differ for bronze, silver and gold. To be shortlisted the judges will need to be persuaded that the nomination will at least meet bronze level. The shortlist will be announced and we will broadcast a series of Engineering Matters Shorts to promote the entrants.
STAGE SIX: THE WINNERS
All judges will assess each shortlisted nomination and discuss their views on the final grading. At this point the judges may pause the assessment to request further information or an outside opinion After carefully reviewing each nomination, the judges will award each successful entrant with either a bronze, silver or gold award.
Winners will be presented their awards at a ceremony in London in March 2025.

Yes, it is completely free to enter.
You may enter as many categories as many times are you like. You may even submit the same entry to multiple categories if it is suitable.
When you enter the Engineering Matters Awards you are not completing against other entries. Instead, you must persuade the judges that your entry deserves a bronze, silver or gold award.
The judges may give multiple trophies in each category or they may award none.
The achievement being entered should have been active in some way between 1 October 2021 and 1 October 2023.
To count as active there must have been some kind of development and the judges will consider in each case whether the entry qualifies. Examples of development include:
– Product, technology or methodology development
– New data collection/monitoring of achievement
– New or expanded uptake of the solution or innovation
The Engineering Matters Awards will be presented at the Cutty Sark in London in March 2024. Full details will be provided here nearer the time.
