AVCJ Awards 2023 - nominations have closed
Nominations for the 2023 AVCJ Private Equity & Venture Capital Awards have now closed. Thanks to all who participated. Voting will open in about two weeks.
The qualifying period for nominations runs from September 23, 2022 to September 22, 2023. To submit nominations – this can be done by nominees directly or by third parties – please go to: www.avcjforum.com/awards. This site also includes information on the awards process, category specifications, and a list of past winners.
One new category has been introduced for 2023. Three Firm of the Year awards will be presented, with venture capital joining the existing mid cap and large cap categories.
Otherwise, the format and process are unchanged. Following the close of nominations, the AVCJ Editorial Board will 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 – no more than five per category – will then be drawn up.
The shortlists will be posted online for the private equity and venture capital community to vote on from around October 10 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. Registered voters and the judging panel each have a 50% say in the result.
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. There are separate judging panels for each one, comprising individuals with relevant experience.
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 a gala dinner on November 13, coinciding with 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

- Deal of the Year - Small Cap
