Nominations for the 2013 AVCJ China Awards - final call
Nominations for the 2013 AVCJ China Awards close today. This is the last chance for members of the Asian private equity and venture capital community 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
- Exit of the Year
- Fundraising of the Year - US Dollar
- Fundraising of the Year - Renminbi
Submissions can be made via email (avcjawards@incisivemedia.com) or online. They should relate to investment, exit and fundraising activity in the last 12 months, i.e. April 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013. Submissions can be made on behalf of third parties, but only one entry per firm per category is permitted. No allowance is made for the number of submissions.
For further details on submissions, or to make nominations online, please follow this link.
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 - no more than five per category - will then be drawn up.
The shortlists will be posted online for the entire private equity and venture capital community to vote on from May 2 until May 16. As in previous years, voting is not limited to AVCJ subscribers but 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 final result, with the judges and the AVCJ Editorial Board each accounting for 25%.
The winners will be announced at the Awards cocktail, held in Beijing on May 30 as part of the 2013 AVCJ China Forum. For further details on the forum, go to www.avcjchina.com.
