2019 awards: Have you sent us your submissions yet?

The clock is ticking! Having opened up submissions for Private Debt Investor’s annual awards a couple of weeks ago, we are here to tell you we want more.

Our awards remain the only honours in the industry decided solely by the industry. After a very successful edition last year, with many thousands of votes cast, we are hoping for an even bigger 2019, with 47 categories now open to submissions.

So if you haven’t already, the first thing you should do is click here to submit your firm’s achievements in 2019 so far – the deadline is Friday 15 November.

We are often asked how long we would like the submissions to be, to which the answer is ‘please keep them brief’. We often receive literary epics, running to thousands of words – and our first thought is how much time must have been spent composing them, and the second is that we probably won’t have time to read them. So please keep your highlights concise – it will be much appreciated, and this is the reason our form is not complex.

When making your submission, please state the category or categories you would like to be considered for.
