Registration is now open for the 2016 Awards Symposium, Ceremony & Dinner. View the event details.

Overview of Past Awards Events

The CTBUH holds a yearly one-day symposium celebrating the annual award winners and finalists, followed by a ceremony & dinner in the evening. These free symposium events feature presentations from all of that year’s winners, as well as some selected featured finalists. The four regional Best Tall Building winners’ presentations are the final factor used in jury deliberations for determining the overall Best Tall Building Worldwide award which is announced at the evening’s ceremony & dinner. Prior to the introduction of the awards symposium in 2010, winners were celebrated at the evening dinner and ceremony.
