AVCJ Awards 2019 - Nominations have closed

For more information on the process, category specifications and past winners, please go to: www.avcjforum.com/awards. Following the close of nominations, the AVCJ Editorial Board evaluates the entries and submits a long list in each category to a panel of industry judges. The judges make their recommendations and then final shortlists - with no more than five contenders per category - are drawn up.

The shortlists will be posted online for the entire private equity and venture capital community to vote on from October 9 until October 28. 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 result, with the judges and the AVCJ Editorial Board accounting for 40% and 10% respectively.

Nominations relate to activity in the last 12 months, i.e. September 22, 2018 to September 23, 2019. 

As in previous years, the Responsible Investment Award and the Operational Value Add Award are not subject to a public vote. Entrants must submit supporting documentation that cannot always be made public and the judging process requires some specialist expertise. 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 11, preceding the AVCJ Forum, which runs from November 12 to November 14.

The categories are as follows:

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