The Outstanding Structure Award has been presented annually since 2000. It recognises the most remarkable, innovative, creative, or otherwise stimulating structures completed within the last few years. As a project award, it recognizes the team effort of the engineer, the architect, the contractor, and the owner involved in completion of the project.[2]

The Anton Tedesko Medal is awarded by the IABSE Foundation to honour a Laureate and support a Fellow of the association for study leave for a promising young engineer to gain practical experience in a prestigious engineering firm, outside his/her home country.[3]
