INDIVIDUAL AND PROJECT AWARDS
NOMINATION PERIOD CLOSES APRIL 30
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Beginning in 2026, all SF Section ASCE award nominations must originate at the Branch level. Submissions will first be reviewed and recognized within each Branch. Branch-level winners will then advance to the Section for further review and selection. Section winners will be submitted to Region 9 for final consideration. Region 9 typically presents its awards in conjunction with the California Infrastructure Symposium, held in the spring of the following year.
Nominations received after the deadline will not be considered for the current award cycle, but may be eligible for consideration in the following year, provided all eligibility criteria are met.
