Demolition & Recycling International magazine is organising the event in co-operation with the National Demolition Association, with the support of the European Demolition Association. The headline sponsor is Volvo Construction Equipment.
As well as honouring the best entries in the shortlisted categories, the Awards dinner will include a special presentation to the overall World Demolition Award winner, which the judges will choose as the best of the winning submissions.
