Nomination process
Program administrators have already compiled lists of top publicly announced transactions in each award category. Companies that have done smaller transactions or whose transaction value was not publicly disclosed should submit this form in order to be eligible. Companies that have done large transactions should also consider submitting this form to provide additional information for the judges to consider.

Tips for completing your nomination
To assist you in completing the nomination process, here are some tips to keep in mind:

  • Our program administrators already have lists of the top transactions in each award category. If you completed a smaller transaction, or did not publicly disclose your transaction value, you can still apply for an award by submitting a nomination form.
  • If your transaction is already being considered for an award, you can increase your odds of winning by completing a nomination form that includes additional information for the judges to consider.
  • If you are applying for the Deal Team of the Year award, please describe your team’s achievements during the year. For guidance purposes, you can also refer to the information requested for the other awards.
  • When completing your nomination form, briefly describe the attributes that uniquely qualify the company or person for the award, considering factors such as:
      • Development of a solid deal thesis
      • Overall financial soundness of the transaction
      • Extent to which the transaction will drive organizational success and/or transformation
      • Complexity of the deal
      • Extent to which the applicant possesses a solid, industry-wide reputation
      • Excellence in overall deal execution, including integration planning
