Celebrating the best-in-class transactions and organisations across the international infrastructure and energy sectors
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 12TH MARCH, 2021
The IJGlobal Awards submissions website is now open to receive entries. This year, given the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, we are looking to find more reasons to celebrate than previously… especially given that it is unlikely we will be able to host physical awards nights across the regions.
To that end, we are encouraging the market to get involved and submit for our awards when we hope to find more reasons to celebrate than has previously been the case. Our normal practice is to limit the number of awards so as not to keep people at their tables during awards nights until gone midnight!
With that in mind, we look forward to receiving your submissions to the IJGlobal Awards 2020 – recognising transactions that reached financial close between 1 January 2020 and 31 December 2020.

CRITERIA
The IJGlobal Awards recognise achievements on deals across the infrastructure and energy sectors in all regions around the world. The editorial team – working closely with an independent team of judges active within the markets where the deals are located – select the winning deals.
Submissions should demonstrate that the nominated deal involved genuine innovation and moved the market forward. They should include as much information as possible about unique features of each deal, highlighting obstacles that had to be overcome, as well as identifying elements that set it apart from other transactions to have closed in that region/sector.
Eligible deal types include acquisitions, bond financings, bank financings, all-equity deals, corporate financings, hybrid and government financings. Additional weighting will be given to non-recourse project financings. Brownfield and greenfield projects are eligible.
Eligible Dates
To be considered for an IJGlobal Award, all transactions must have reached financial close by 31 December 2020. Please note that underwritten or signed deals will not be considered until they meet their conditions precedent and are available to fund.
