ICE believes in working with young people, both to inspire the next generation of engineers and to make young people and their families more aware of what civil engineers do to shape our way of life.
With around 3000 schools across South East England, ICE relies on the work of individual volunteers and forward thinking local companies to help with this aim.
These awards celebrate the work of individuals and companies who have shown outstanding commitment to promoting the civil engineering profession at events and in schools across South East England over the last year.
Entires for the 2013 awards have now closed. We will be sharing news of the shortlisted individuals and companies here shortly.

It was very much Mott MacDonald’s year in 2012 as the company were named best schools outreach company 2012 and the firm's Lara Smith picked up an individual prize for her work bringing civil engineering to young people in the region.
Mott MacDonald were recognised for their work at careers fairs across the region, and for their particular links with The Quilley School in Eastleigh and various organisations, including ICE, who also seek to promote STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering and maths) to young people.
The firm's Lara Smith was nominated by four separate people for her work with schools. Lara has taken the lead on a number of different events recently, as well as actively encouraging others to get involved in schools work.
Highly commended in the individual category was Robert Audsley of Kent, who was described as having 'an engaging energetic manner with students'.
