It’s global awards time!
Now in its 17th edition, the Infrastructure Investor Awards have been a staple of the infrastructure industry’s calendar as a time to celebrate the best in class across firms, funds, deals, exits and more.
We are calling for you submissions until 11:30pm (PT) November 21. As usual, we’ve also put together some handy guidelines to help you prepare your submissions.
As of last year, the winners in each category will be decided by a judging panel of Infrastructure Investor editors, the same people who previously focused on producing the shortlists, augmented by senior editorial staff from other asset classes (see full list below).
The submissions process will remain unchanged: readers can submit nominations for all open categories via our dedicated portal. The judges will work through these, verify the information provided with market sources and draw on their own insight into who the standout performers were in the year just gone.
The winners and runners up will be announced in Q1 2026, as well as appearing in the March Annual Review.
