The MacRobert Award is regarded as the leading prize recognising UK innovation in engineering by corporations.[1] The winning team receives a gold medal and a cash sum of £50,000.
The annual award process begins with an invitation to companies to submit entries, by the end of January. The judging panel for the awards, which includes several Fellows of the Royal Academy of Engineering, then selects a shortlist of six to eight candidates. Following site visits, the judges produce a shortlist of three or four candidates for visits by the whole judging panel.
The judges consider three key criteria when assessing entries:
Innovation
Commercial success
Benefit to society
The guidance for submissions explains that "All three criteria may be interpreted broadly to reflect the very diverse nature of engineering and its role in every aspect of society".
In 2019, the 50th anniversary year of the awards,[2] Royal Mail issued a series of postage stamps marking "the marvels of British engineering", with a new set of 10 stamps that featured, along with other engineering achievements, three past winners of the MacRobert Award.[3]
