Architectural Metalwork – Balconies & Façades

Fabricators of cantilevered or propped balconies, canopies, entrances and façade systems — the steel that shapes a building's edge.

Open to all Irish Steel members. You can nominate your own company or another member, and you can enter more than one category — just submit each entry separately.

Entries should be based on work that was completed or significantly progressed between 1 July 2024 and 30 June 2026. A handful of categories don't specify a time window — when in doubt, get in touch.

Each entry is reviewed by our judging panel. For finished projects, judges weigh:

• Quality of the end result
• Innovation and technical execution
• Project complexity and scale
• Collaboration with suppliers and clients
• Uniqueness

Every submission needs:

• A short project summary (50 words)
• The story of the project (800–1,000 words) — what you built, how you solved problems, the materials and techniques, the operational excellence, innovation and technology involved
• A strong case for why it deserves to win (up to 500 words)
• At least two high-quality images (up to five allowed)
• Your company logo in PNG format

Optional but welcome: video links, drawings, and media features.
