Starting from 2026, the new application categories ensure that a wide variety of project types and innovations can be recognized. From now on, the competition introduces new application categories: Steel Lion, Pangolin, Cold-formed structure, Small-scale project, FALCON, and Student.

Important to note that the size of the project or the size of the Consteel model is not a key factor during the evaluation, so the smaller projects with creative, unique solutions are warmly welcome.

The jury will take the following factors into account:

• The level of Consteel usage in the structural design – the quality of the Consteel model

• The complexity of the structural design demand

• The uniqueness, technical level, and creativity of the structural solution

• The level of presentation (description and number of attachments)
