Going Digital Awards
The Going Digital Awards in Infrastructure, formerly known as The Year in Infrastructure Awards, is an exciting and well-regarded global competition that recognizes digital advancements in infrastructure.
These awards are an integral part of the Year in Infrastructure, which brings together infrastructure professionals and members of the media from around the globe to share innovative practices in infrastructure project design, engineering, construction, and operations.
Since 2004, the Awards program has recognized over 4,000 of the world’s most outstanding infrastructure projects. Open to all Bentley software users, it is a unique program that is truly global in scope and comprehensive in categories covered, encompassing all forms of infrastructure projects from around the world.
Nominating your project provides great recognition, exciting rewards, and unique opportunities to network and promote your organization! All finalists will present their projects at the Year in Infrastructure 2021.
Why Nominate a Project
Nominating your project is the first step towards gaining global recognition for your infrastructure project. Take a look at the benefits and rewards of becoming a nominee, finalist, and winner.
Nominee

Each nominee is further recognized in the Infrastructure Yearbook, which is just the beginning of how your project can be promoted to a global audience through Bentley’s marketing and public relations activities. All nominees also get a certificate of participation.
Finalist
As a finalist, you get to present your project on a global platform before jurors, peers, and members of international press. All the finalists will be honored during the awards ceremony and will receive a finalist trophy. You also get an opportunity to participate in Bentley’s Speaker Bureau program, under which you can get invited to share your experience at Bentley hosted events and leading third-party industry conferences.
After the event, your project presentation will continue to be available on-demand on Bentley’s website, and you will be able to share this with your colleagues, clients, and peers. In addition, your project will be showcased in the User Project section on the Bentley website.
Winner
The winners receive all the rewards of nominees and finalists. In addition, they receive a $1,000 charitable donation in their organization’s name. An exclusive press release featuring the winners and their organizations will be distributed to leading industry publications across the globe.
