AVCJ Awards 2017 - nominations have closed

The AVCJ Editorial Board will now evaluate the entries and submit a long list in each category to a select panel of industry judges. The judges will make their recommendations and then final shortlists - with no more than five contenders per category - will be drawn up.

The shortlists will be posted online for the entire private equity and venture capital community to vote on from October 10 until October 27. Voters must register - providing name, firm and contact details - so as to avoid vote packing. No more than 10 votes will be accepted from employees of a single firm. The AVCJ subscriber base has a 50% say in the final result, with the judges and the AVCJ Editorial Board each accounting for 25%.

As in previous years, two categories are not subject to a public vote. The Operational Value Add Award is presented at the discretion of the AVCJ Editorial Board with substantial input from a separate judging panel of industry professionals who work on the operations side. Submissions from the private equity community must include supporting information.

Similarly, the AVCJ Special Achievement Award is presented solely at the discretion of the AVCJ Editorial Board, although suggestions from the private equity and venture capital community will be considered and valued.

The winners will be announced at an invitation-only gala dinner in Hong Kong on November 13, preceding the AVCJ Forum, which runs from November 14 to November 16.

 The categories are as follows:

• Fundraising of the Year - Venture Capital
• Fundraising of the Year - Mid Cap
