Have your say in the 2012 AVCJ Awards
Last year Archer Capital scooped the prize for Firm of the Year, Baring Private Equity Asia was honored for its fund raise, and Affinity Equity Partners and Unitas Capital won plaudits for best exit. Unitas also claimed the prize for PE Deal of the Year, while AVCJ paid tribute to HarbourVest's Philip Bilden for his longstanding contribution to the asset class in Asia.
Who deserves recognition at the 2012 AVCJ Asian Private Equity & Venture Capital Awards? From today, you can have your say.
The AVCJ Editorial Board is pleased to announce that nominations for the 2012 Awards are now open. Once again, we are asking all AVCJ readers and many others in the industry to put forward candidates to be considered for the nomination shortlist. The categories are as follows:
• Firm of the Year
• Private Equity Professional of the Year
• Venture Capital Professional of the Year
• Private Equity Deal of the Year
• Venture Capital Deal of the Year
• Private Equity Exit of the Year
• Fundraising of the Year
• AVCJ Special Achievement Award
Nominations can be made via email (avcjawards@incisivemedia.com) and will be accepted until September 30. 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 consider these recommendations, and if necessary, review the original submission documents and propose alternative candidates. The final shortlists - five per category - will then be drawn up.
The shortlists will be posted online for the entire AVCJ.com user base to vote on from October 17 until October 30. No more than 10 votes will be accepted from employees of a nominated 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%.
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.
For further details on the requirements in each category and a list of past winners, go to www.avcjforum.com/awards.
