AVCJ Awards 2022 - voting has closed
Voting for the 2022 AVCJ Private Equity & Venture Capital Awards has now closed. Many thanks for your participation.
The results will be announced at a presentation dinner in Singapore on November 14. For full information on the awards process and the shortlisted nominees, please visit the awards website.
The region’s PE and VC community has a 50% say in the result, with the panel of industry judges that has already made recommendations as to the composition of the shortlists accounting for the other 50%.
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.
Three categories are not subject to a public vote. The Operational Value Add Award and the Responsible Investment Award are presented based on recommendations from separate judging panels of industry professionals with expertise in those fields. Meanwhile, the AVCJ Special Achievement Award is presented solely at the discretion of the AVCJ Editorial Board.
Relying on industry recommendations and input from the judging panel, the AVCJ Editorial Board drew up the following nominee shortlists:
