Registration student STEEL Award 2019

The 2019 student Steel Prize competition is open. Students who graduated or are about to graduate between July 31, 2018 and August 1, 2019 are cordially invited to participate. The student STEEL Prize is organized each year by Building with Steel and is intended for architecture and civil engineering students at colleges, universities, academies of architecture and the Steel Structural Engineer and Structural Designer programs of Building with Steel. The award appreciates graduation work in which steel fulfills an important function.

There are three categories: Bachelor, Master and Master of Architecture. To encourage architecture students to participate, a category was recently added. In addition, there are two cross-category, product-oriented prizes to be won: the Van Bentum Prize for applications of thin steel plate and the Prepainted Metal Trophy (formerly ECCA award) for a special application of prepainted metal.

Moreover, Bouwen met Staal organizes the steelSCHOOL award in cooperation with MBO schools. After successful pilots with the Techniek College Rotterdam from Schiedam and the Koning Willem 1 College, Bouwen met Staal is looking for architecture courses that would also like to organize such a prize for graduates in 2020.

The award will be presented on Oct. 8 during the 2019 National Steel Construction Day at the Van Nelle Design Factory in Rotterdam. The winning and nominated graduation projects will be published in the trade journal Bouwen met Staal.

More information can be found at the website of Building with Steel.

Submission for the award is possible until August 15, 2019.
