Bentley Systems Incorporated has announced that it is accepting submissions for the 2013 Be Inspired Awards competition.

The awards, which are selected by an independent jury of industry experts, recognise the extraordinary and innovative work of organisations that help sustain the world’s infrastructure by designing, engineering, constructing, delivering, and/or operating better-performing, safer, and more resilient roads, buildings, plants, utility networks, and more. 

Over 20 award categories cover every aspect of the built environment in the global competition.

The company has invited all Bentley users to enter their projects, regardless of whether they are in the stage pre-construction/conceptual, design, construction, or built.

The three finalists chosen for each Be Inspired Awards category will win a trip to London to attend The Year in Infrastructure 2013 Conference, being held 28-31 October at the Hilton London Metropole, where they will present their projects before the judges, industry leaders, and more than 100 members of the media.

Chris Barron, Bentley vice president, corporate communications, said, “as part of The Year in Infrastructure 2013 Conference, the Be Inspired Awards Finals provides a global stage for our annual celebration of extraordinary achievements in infrastructure.”

The deadline for entries into the competition is 19 July, 2013.
