This year, we have brought all of our awards under the Global Derivatives umbrella, and will be choosing the winners for the Americas as well as the Europe and Asia awards through a single research process. You are invited to put yourselves forward for inclusion in the shortlists.
To nominate yourself, please either provide a short submission of two sides of A4, or answer the entry questions on the portal, detailing any notable developments over the awards period (January 1, 2022 – March 31, 2023).
When putting together the shortlist, judges will be looking for examples of innovation, growth and working for the advancement of the derivatives industry, as well as extraordinary effort on behalf of clients. Differentiation is key and your submission should demonstrate how you have stood out from your competitors in your performance, what you offer to clients or in your strategy.
You will also have the opportunity to nominate other entities. These can either be your competitors, or other members of the derivatives industry who you have encountered and who have impressed you over the period.
For example, a bank nominating a broker, or a law firm nominating a bank. This is optional, but it is your opportunity to play a role in shaping the awards shortlist. You may provide reasoning for your nominations if you wish.
Please visit our ENTRY PORTAL to make your nominations.
These submissions, along with our own, independent research, will be used to create the shortlists which we will publish in April. We will then invite nominees to pitch to win during May and June.
Sophie Astles, awards editor, will run the pitching process in conjunction with John Anderson.
John’s career spans both journalism and corporate communications. Starting out an investigative journalist, he has more recently written for GlobalCapital as well as Euromoney and Risk magazines.
