Unquote British Private Equity Awards 2019: final call for entries

The evening will honour innovation and excellence in private equity and venture capital, while recognising the industry's ability to foster the wider economy. To enter, please visit the Unquote British Private Equity Awards website.

As in previous years, firms may be nominated or put themselves forward. The judging period will cover your company's success between 1 July 2018 and 30 June 2019.

To enter, visit the awards website and select the relevant categories. In keeping with last year's process, submissions are completed entirely online.

Do note that we are introducing new categories this year, including some dedicated to limited partners and secondaries investors.

Entries are due no later than 28 June 2019 at 5pm.

The shortlist will be determined by our judging panel (see below) and will be announced at the beginning of September. The winners will be chosen by a combination of the panel's input, as well as a readership vote.

The judging panel (in alphabetical order):

Greg Gille, Unquote
Graham McDonald, Aberdeen Standard Investments
Scott Moeller, CASS Business School
Andrew Morgan, Grant Thornton
Rhonda Ryan, Pavilion Alternatives
Ian Sale, HSBC
Helen Steers, Pantheon
Richard Swann, Inflexion Private Equity
Adam Turtle, Rede Partners
Tim Wright, DLA Piper

We will be publishing a series of FAQs in the coming days to help you navigate the process and maximise your chances of impressing the judges and the public voters.

In the meantime, you can view a general FAQ here. Meanwhile, here are a couple of specific tips:

• Feel free to enter as many categories as are relevant for your business. For instance, a mid-market PE house that has had a fantastic year could of course enter the Mid-Market House of the Year award, but could also enter for Fundraising of the Year if it closed a fund during the judging period, as well as any relevant Exit of the Year award. However, we will limit entries to one per firm per category so if you have several exits worthy of consideration in one category, for instance, pick the one that you feel should deserve special recognition.
  
  
• Please be as specific and thorough as possible in the executive summary of your entry. This is the only part of the entry that our audience will get to see before they cast their vote in the public part of the process. We do realise that you may not necessarily want to share sensitive financial or strategic details, but generic marketing statements about your firm really tend to turn the judges and the public voters off.
