The countdown has begun! Voting is now open for the 2024 Yearbook of Engineering Achievement (YEA) competition, and the deadline is fast approaching. This prestigious annual event celebrates innovation, ingenuity, and groundbreaking achievements in the engineering world, showcasing the very best projects from across the industry.
This year, the excitement is greater than ever as the engineering community rallies to select its favorite projects. The stakes are high—the project with the most votes will earn the distinguished title of 2024 Summit Project, receiving a spotlight on the cover of the Winter 2024 issue of Civil+Structural Engineer Magazine.
Cast Your Vote Every Day Until November 22
Voting is simple, impactful, and open to everyone. Each day until November 22, 2024, you can cast your vote for the projects you believe exemplify innovation, excellence, and the spirit of engineering achievement. With four unique categories this year—Water/Stormwater/Wastewater, Environmental/Sustainability, Transportation/Infrastructure, and the new Education category—there’s something to inspire every voter.
Voting with a Purpose
This year, your vote carries even more impact. Every vote helps support our hurricane disaster relief efforts, contributing to rebuilding communities affected by devastating storms. By participating, you’re not only celebrating excellence in engineering but also aiding vital recovery efforts that bring hope and resilience to those in need.
Why Your Vote Matters
Your daily vote doesn’t just help highlight outstanding projects—it fuels industry recognition, celebrates the hard work and creativity of engineering teams, and supports critical hurricane relief initiatives. Every vote is a chance to uplift the incredible work shaping our world today while directly contributing to a brighter tomorrow for disaster-stricken communities.
Last year’s Summit Project winner, the Orlando International Airport Terminal C, captured the imagination of the industry, earning nearly 20% more votes than its closest competitor. This year, the field of nominees is stronger than ever, promising a competition as fierce as it is inspiring.
The 2024 YEA Summit Project
At the end of the voting period, the project with the most overall votes will be crowned the 2024 Summit Project, earning the top spot in the Yearbook and industry-wide acclaim. All category winners will also receive well-deserved recognition in Civil+Structural Engineer Magazine and across its platforms.
