The Big Project Middle East Awards covers the entire Middle East and North Africa region. Companies and individuals operating within this region are eligible for nomination.

Any authorised person from within a built environment focused organisation can nominate the company, a project or an individual for an award. All nominations must be via the nomination form. Please ensure you have sourced the necessary approvals from all relevant parties when submitting a nomination (for example, if you are submitting a project nomination, ensure that you have sourced approval from relevant parties to do so).

Please submit the nomination form accurately and completely. Utilise the word limits to their fullest and follow the criteria instructions for each category sections as closely as possible. It is important that you provide full, but concise, information about the organisation, project or individual you are nominating.

Focus on explaining what you are doing and why you deserve to win. We know and work with your companies, so keep the introductions to a minimum and focus on getting the crucial bits of information across. It’s helpful to include statistics, numbers and data to demonstrate impact and show progression. If you need help or advice when completing the form, please use the contact details listed.

Make sure to source the necessary permissions from partners etc. when submitting for project awards.

The winner for each award is chosen by an independent panel of judges, drawn from across the Middle East construction industry. While there is only one winner per category, the judges do distinguish two further nominations with a ‘highly commended’ recognition. This will be announced on the night of the awards, prior to the winner being revealed.

While you must fill up your nomination form via the website, you will also be able to upload supporting documentation and images prior to submitting the form. Once you submit, all attached documentation and files, along with your completed nomination form, will be uploaded to our secure servers.

Should your nomination be successful, you will receive an automatically generated confirmation email. Please check both your regular email and junk mail folders, as sometimes, spam filters may stop this email. If you feel that there might be a problem with your nomination upload, please contact the editorial team at Big Project ME. However, we will not be able to discuss any particular nominations while it is up for consideration, or if it does not succeed in making the final list.

All your relevant information for your nomination MUST be included when you submit your nomination form online. Your nomination will only be judged by the information you have uploaded and submitted. If any extra information is required, we will directly contact the relevant company or individual that has been nominated.
