How much does it cost to enter?
For 2020, the awards are free to enter.
Can I start my entry online and finish it at a later date?
Unfortunately the online entry form does not allow you to save an unfinished entry to be completed at a later date. We advise that you write your entry in a word document and gather all supporting materials before completing the online entry form.
Can I amend my entry once it has been submitted?
No, entries cannot be amended once they have been submitted, which is also why we urge you to draft your entry and gather all supporting materials before completing your entry online.
What supporting materials are allowed?
We accept the following file types: pdf, doc, docx, xls, xlsx, csv, txt, rtf, html, zip, mp3, wma, mpg, flv, avi, jpg, jpeg, png, gif. Any links to websites should be collated in a document and uploaded seperately.
There is no limit or word count for supporting documents, but please avoid including superfluous documents if they are not relevant to the entry, as these may damage your submission rather than support it.
Remember it is quality and relevance that matter, and we want to see anything that showcases excellence!
Can I submit supporting documents that are written in my native language?
No. We can only accept supporting documents written in English.
Who are the judges?
The judging panel is made up of investment professionals and IR Magazine editorial team members. Keep checking our website for updates.
How will my entry be judged?
The judging process is made up of the following stages:
Stage 1: Judges are allocated categories and sent the entry packs, which contain a longlist of submissions to review and score.
Stage 2: Judges are asked to score submissions, using a ranking system, based on how well the entrant has addressed the category criteria and requirements. The scores are collated and averaged by the IR Magazine awards team and the top ranked entries form the short lists.
Stage 3: Once the short lists are determined, judges come together with renewed scrutiny to discuss and debate the winning entry per category.
The scores and judges comments will not be shared with entrants, however, judges comments may be published in IR Magazine articles or reports after the event. The judges are not required to make comments against every submission.
Will my entry be shared with anyone else apart from IR Magazine and the judging panel?
Your entry (including any files you upload) may be made public after the awards to substantiate your nomination. If you do not wish for your entry to be shared in this way then you should mark it as confidential. There will be an opportunity to do this later in the entry form.
When will I know if my entry has made the short list?
We will inform short-listed companies and individuals by the end of April by telephone and email.
I have a question that is not answered here. Who do I contact?
