Voting for the 2017 AVCJ Private Equity & Venture Capital Awards has now closed. Many thanks to all those who participated.

To review the nominee shortlists and cast your vote, please go to the AVCJ Awards website (http://www.avcjforum.com/awards), which also includes full details of the process.

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.

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. Meanwhile, the AVCJ Special Achievement Award is presented solely at the discretion of the AVCJ Editorial Board.

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.

Relying in part on industry recommendations, the AVCJ Editorial Board drew up nominee shortlists in consultation with the judging panel.
