Regional Competitions:
Regional competitions are held in conjunction with ASCE regional conferences. Winners and first runners-up from most regions are invited to compete at the national level. However, invitations are extended only to the winner from a region with two, three or four participating universities, and to the top three teams from a region with eleven or more participating universities. A university may enter more than one bridge in regional competition but only the best one may qualify for national competition. Each university entering a steel bridge in any regional competition receives $175 from AISC. The host university receives $500 from AISC to assist with expenses incurred in organizing the Regional Student Steel Bridge Competition. In addition, AISC provides plaques for all the competitions.

National Competition:

At the national level, AISC and the competition cosponsors assist with travel funds for those teams invited to compete. The first top team from each region receives $1,000.  The second top team from each region receives $500.
