Nominate

The QEPrize seeks nominations from the public that celebrate a wide variety of engineering innovations across all sectors of the profession, and a breadth of nominators from all corners of the globe.

The £500,000 prize is the world’s most prestigious engineering accolade, awarded to up to ten engineers responsible for a bold, groundbreaking engineering innovation of global benefit to humanity.

This year marks the 10^th anniversary of the awarding of the first QEPrize. Over the past decade, we have honoured 20 eminent engineers whose innovations have affected billions of lives. As we approach this milestone year, we are seeking a diverse range of nominations that truly epitomise excellence in engineering.

The QEPrize is an international award and accepts nominations from anywhere in the world. The only limitations are that self-nomination and posthumous nomination are not allowed.

Nominations for the 2024 QEPrize are now open and will close on 14 July 2023.
