The annual CTBUH Awards Program honors projects and individuals that have made extraordinary contributions to the advancement of tall buildings and the urban environment and achieve sustainability at the highest and most impactful level. The submission deadline for the 2023 CTBUH Awards Program is 17 March 2023.

Judged by an international panel of experts, the Awards Program recognizes projects in over 20 categories and subcategories, including Best Tall Building, Urban Habitat, Innovation, Structure, and Construction. 2022 Award of Excellence winners can be viewed here. The program aspires to provide a more comprehensive and sophisticated view of these industry-leading projects, drive improvements in every aspect of performance, and showcase those that deliver the greatest benefit to the individuals and communities who interact with them.

Winners in all categories will present their projects at the CTBUH 2023 International Conference, Humanizing High Density—People, Nature & the Urban Realm, where the overall winner in each category will be announced. Submissions are also considered for inclusion in our Tall+Urban publication, an annual compendium highlighting the year’s most innovative and pioneering projects.
