How It Works
Nominations are designed to be simple
You do not need to be the organisation being recognised to submit a nomination. You can put forward your own organisation, a client, provider, partner or peer, across as many relevant categories as you think appropriate.
The nomination itself takes around five minutes. We are not asking you to prepare a full awards submission at this stage; we simply need to know who you believe deserves recognition and why. From there, our team contacts the nominated organisation directly for the supporting information required by the judges.
Nominations are treated in confidence, and there are no entry fees or paid categories.
1. Nominate
Nominations are open now across all twenty two categories. Anyone can nominate, including self-nominations, and it takes five minutes.
2. We do the legwork
Our team contacts every nominated organisation for supporting information. Nobody needs to write a forty page entry document; we ask for what the judges need and nothing more.
3. Shortlists announced
Shortlists are published on Asset Owner Network in the autumn. Every shortlisted asset owner is invited to the ceremony as our guest.
4. Independent judging
An independent panel of senior industry figures judges every category. Sponsors have no role in judging and no visibility of deliberations.
5. Winners on the day
Winners are announced live at the ceremony on Thursday 26 November 2026. No leaks, no embargoed press releases, one room finding out together.
6. The story continues
Winners are featured across Asset Owner Network after the ceremony, with coverage of the people, teams and organisations recognised on the day.
