As the newly announced shortlist for the inaugural Capital Pioneer Awards hits inboxes, a few of our nominees may have queries on how they have been shortlisted for an award for which they did not submit an entry.
Here’s a quick explanation.
The Capital Pioneer Awards exist to shine a light on the people blazing a trail through the capital market system, leading the charge in embracing a new era of tokenisation.
While most entries come from the individuals or teams that submit applications to be considered by our judging panel, we appreciate that some people don’t have the time, the inclination or simply aren’t aware of the opportunity to enter.
We designed the Editor’s Choice category with those people in mind. The category recognises the teams making waves across all parts of the capital markets landscape and highlights their successes. Additionally, the Capital Pioneer team conducted extensive market research to identify deserving nominees that haven’t put themselves forward.
It’s important to note that Editor’s Choice nominations receive no preferential treatment. All entries – whether submitted directly or nominated by the editors – are judged entirely independently by a panel of marketing experts. The judges have no visibility into how a nomination came about, and every submission is evaluated on its merits.
We encourage all individuals, teams and organisations to submit their work. Editor’s Choice is simply a way to ensure that outstanding work doesn’t go unrecognised.
