Four Awards of Excellence will be handed out to firms of various sizes. Categories include firms with 1 to 50 employees, firms with 51 to 100 employees, firms with 101 to 350 employees and firms with more than 351 employees.

In addition, CEO will present Awards of Merit in seven categories: Building Engineering and Science; Environment; Industry, Energy and Resources; Project Management; Studies and Research; Transit; and Transportation Structural.

The most prestigious award, the Willis Chipman, will go to the firm whose project best demonstrates engineering excellence and innovation.

The one-page Notice of Intent to Submit must be emailed by October 12, 2018. Project submissions must be delivered to the CEO office, no later than November 30, 2018. A 2019 OCEA Guidebook is now available on the CEO website.
