American Council of Engineering Companies of Florida
The American Council of Engineering Companies of Florida (ACEC Florida) empowers engineering firms with the knowledge, engagement, influence and recognition to deliver high-impact infrastructure that protects public health and safety, strengthens the economy and enhances the quality of life for all Floridians.
ACEC Florida Engineering Excellence Awards
The ACEC Florida Engineering Excellence Awards recognize engineering firms for projects that demonstrate exceptional originality, innovation and creativity in designing effective solutions that deliver significant value to clients and communities across the Sunshine State.
Projects that demonstrate remarkable innovation, creative problem-solving, significant contributions to the engineering profession, meaningful value to society, and strong client fulfillment can earn one of three levels of distinction:
- The Honor Award recognizes a project for superior achievement.
- The Grand Award recognizes a project for outstanding achievement.
- The Grand Conceptor Award recognizes the single most exceptional engineering achievement of the year.
Spotlight Your Firm’s Best Work
Your firm has invested time, talent and ingenuity in projects that make a difference in the lives, livelihoods and quality of life of Floridians. That work deserves recognition – and the marketing value that comes with it.
An ACEC Florida Engineering Excellence Award provides a prestigious third-party endorsement of your firm’s expertise and accomplishments. It creates a compelling story that can be used to elevate your brand, celebrate your team, strengthen client relationships, and support future business development.
Showcase Your Team, Your Firm and Your Clients
An ACEC Florida Engineering Excellence Award is a win for everyone involved. Your project team earns well-deserved recognition. Your client gets another opportunity to celebrate the project’s success. And your firm gains a powerful credential that can support marketing, reputation and business development.
Celebrate Engineering Excellence
The design industry will celebrate excellence in engineering and recognize award winners during a black-tie gala in February. ACEC will also promote winners through various communications channels, including press, online publications and social media.
