Kindly note:
The shortlist will be revealed weeks prior to the Awards Ceremony. As we receive a high volume of entries, we are unable to provide feedback on entry submissions that don’t make the cut. Further, we will not be able to reveal the results ahead of the Ceremony. Kindly send in your submissions only if the firm/company/team/individual intends to participate in the Ceremony.
