The Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering is a global prize that celebrates the successes of modern engineering. With QEPrize winners selected from across the world, such an international prize requires a truly international trophy.

Every year, the Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering trophy is found through the ‘Create the Trophy’ competition. The competition gives young people aged 14-24 the opportunity to get involved, testing their design skills using the latest in 3D-design technology. The winner receives a high-end laptop, a 3D printed model of their trophy, and the opportunity to see their 3D printed winning design presented to the winners of the Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering in London, UK. In addition, the winning trophy will also go on display in the Engineers gallery at the Science Museum, which showcases engineering innovations through the lens of the QEPrize.

The 2026 Create the Trophy competition is now open and closes at 23.59 (UTC) on Friday 28 November, and the winner will be announced on 3 February 2026.

Trophy designs are created and submitted using the QEPrize 3D Design Studio app, which is
free to download on both iOS and Android. To find out more, visit the website: www.qeprize.org/trophy
