Voting for the 2016 AVCJ Private Equity & Venture Capital Awards has now closed. Many thanks for your participation.

The region's PE and VC community has a 50% say in the final outcome, with a judging panel of industry experts and the AVCJ Editorial Board each accounting for 25%.

As in previous years, voting is not limited to AVCJ subscribers but participants must register - providing name, company and contact details - so as to avoid vote packing. No more than 10 votes will be accepted from employees of a single firm.
