Many of you have heard of these awards. If you have not, see the website below. Emporis is a major company that hands out an award every year to the "best" new skyscraper. The owners and senior editors (I myself am an editor) of the site go to the location of the winning building to present the award. This coming year, there will be awards not only for skyscrapers, but for developers and architects and such.
Here is the website, navigate through it to see the historical results and other things. I find it really interesting.
