Description of the Tekla BIM Awards

The Tekla BIM Awards is a structural project competition for our customers around the world who use Tekla software. The competition is a way to express appreciation towards our Tekla software customers and to share their success stories. Together with the forward-thinking customers, Tekla software plays a significant role in building many complex and iconic structures, as well as in leading the construction industry's BIM development.

The competition is organized in two rounds. The first round is local in a country or a region. In the second round, the winners of the local competitions enter into the Tekla Global BIM Awards.

Who can participate and how?

The competition is open to Tekla software customers who have designed construction projects using Tekla Structures. Participants need to submit their contribution through the website form on this page.
