According to CTBUH, the evening will be a modern interpretation of the 1931 Beaux-Arts Ball in New York, where titans from the building industry came dressed as the buildings they had created.”

The evening will have a full cocktail hour and a multi-course menu. To add to the fun of the evening, there will also be a VIP photo backdrop and some props to help capture the perfect picture.

Costumes can be an article of clothing, a full-blown outfit or anything in between. CTBUH will award a US$1,000 prize for best costume on the night of the dinner.

In order to win, participants must register for the competition ahead of time.
