It is with great pleasure that we announce the launch of IJInvestor Awards 2021 – the third annual awards ceremony dedicated to funds and M&A activity in the energy and infrastructure markets.

IJInvestor Awards 2021 will recognise the companies, deals and individuals who make it all happen for the most exciting market developments of the year.

The submissions portal is now live and we invite market players to make a case for why their company, deals and staff merit industry-wide recognition for their hard work in the judging period – 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021.

We are also incredibly excited to say we endeavour to make a return to physical awards ceremonies (knock on wood) and look forward to clinking champagne glasses in person. More details to follow soon.

As with all IJ awards, we have pulled together an international judging committee – all of them established professionals in the infrastructure and energy markets – to review submissions. We will announce the judging panel in the coming weeks.

Judges who have an interest in a deal or who have a particularly close working relationship with companies that are being judged (or work at the company), will be recused from voting on those particular submissions to ensure a fair and transparent process. This will be policed by IJGlobal in the run-up to the judging session and on Judgment Day to ensure an honest and fair process.

At IJGlobal, we pride ourselves on hosting what we believe to be the most transparent, peer-review awards in this sector.

We look forward to receiving your submissions in the coming weeks and celebrating the highlights of the year.

The final deadline for submissions is 15 October (2021) and awards will be announced on 15 December.

In the meantime, keep up with all the latest funds and M&A news at IJInvestor.
