LARTC 2026 AWARD WINNERS
CELEBRATING OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENTS IN LATIN AMERICAN REFINING
CELEBRATING DOWNSTREAM SUCCESS & EXCELLENCE
The Latin American Refining Technology Conference Awards of Excellence ceremony recognizes and celebrates the outstanding achievements throughout the Latin American downstream industry, highlighting the refineries, engineers, executives and technologies that have been at the forefront of the progress the sector continues to make.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Our network submit their nominations across six awards categories. The World Refining Association creates a longlist, which is put to our esteemed panel of awards judges to create a shortlist. The shortlist is then published, and our judges will vote for a second time, deciding on a winner for each award.
The final results are announced live at the awards ceremony as part of the LARTC conference.
