We have already received many submissions for our annual awards but with many more firms still working on entries we have decided to extend the deadline for submissions by another week until 5pm New York time on Friday 22 November.
Submissions can be made via a dedicated form that can be found HERE.
All details of how to make a submission can be found by following the link, but it is worth us reiterating: our editorial team needs clear, concise and detailed information on your year’s activities as they pertain to the award(s) you are pitching for.
As we announced last month, there have been major changes to the PERE Credit Awards this year.
To date, the PERE Credit editorial team has used our market knowledge and expert judgment to put together shortlists for each category. The industry has then voted on those lists to determine the winners. But times have changed, and we have decided to discontinue the voting system. It was built for a simpler age and now is vulnerable to producing outcomes shaped as much by contenders’ popularity as their claims to excellence.
For 2024, we have revised awards categories to celebrate achievements that can be said to truly matter to the market at large. The winners in each category will now be decided by the same judging panel of PERE Credit editorial staff who previously focused on producing the shortlists.
We look forward to hearing from you by 5pm New York time on Friday, November 15.
Here are the categories, listed in full:
