FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What are the Project Power Awards?

The Project Power Awards recognize excellence in the execution of complex energy-related projects across the Americas. They spotlight the people and companies behind the planning, logistics, and delivery of critical infrastructure—whether that means moving components for a refinery upgrade in Texas, an offshore platform in Brazil, or a new wind installation in Canada. These awards serve as a platform to share innovations and practical expertise with the broader Breakbulk community, helping others learn from real-world challenges and successful strategies.

Why did you choose energy projects as the theme for the Americas awards?

Energy infrastructure is one of the most active and influential drivers of project cargo demand across the Americas. The U.S. leads the world in oil and natural gas production and is advancing next-generation nuclear power through SMR development. Canada ranks fourth in the world for oil production and continues to invest in hydropower, carbon capture and clean fuels, while Brazil is expanding offshore oil and renewable energy capacity. From traditional power to emerging technologies like hydrogen, these projects shape regional economies. It’s time to recognize the innovation and expertise behind these essential projects.

Who can enter the Project Power Awards?

The awards are open to all companies worldwide involved in energy-related industrial projects located in Canada, U.S., Mexico, Central America, South America and the Caribbean — including energy firms, manufacturers, project forwarders, transport providers, ports and terminals, equipment specialists, and related service providers. Whether you’re moving wind blades, refinery modules, or hydrogen tanks, this is your moment to shine.

How do I enter the Project Power Awards?

To enter, complete the online entry form, and detail how your entry meets the judging criteria. Supporting documentation is encouraged, including at least one hi-res photo. Technical documents and video are also helpful. You will also need to provide at least one testimonial.

May I enter more than one category?

Yes, you can enter as many categories as you’d like by completing the entry requirements for each one. However, you may only submit one entry per category.

Is there a fee to enter the Awards?

There is no cost to enter the Awards.

How will the Awards be judged?

The Project Power Awards are judged independently by an esteemed panel of experts from across the industry.  The scoring is conducted online, without any reference to other scorers and based solely on the submission of the entrant. This ensures the scores are unbiased and judges are not swayed by the opinions of other panel members. Judges  determine the shortlist and winners for each category with the exception of the People’s Choice Awards – which are voted on by the community at large to determine the winners from the shortlisted nominees.

When will the winners be announced?

The winners were announced at the awards ceremony at 12:00 – 1:00pm on Thursday, Oct. 2 at Breakbulk Americas.
