You can be in with a chance of being named amongst the best projects, programmes and professionals in the country.

Finalists and winners attract national publicity and a deserved career boost as a result, both at business and individual level.

The various categories are in recognition of the broadening range of achievements within project management, with the judging criteria putting an emphasis on the outputs and outcomes of projects; what they aim to achieve and what their success contributes to the development of the profession.

In addition to the use of project management tools and techniques, entrants should place a focus on storytelling, lessons learned, challenges overcome, benefits delivered to the community and knowledge delivered to the profession.

If you need that little bit of extra help when preparing your submission, then read Scott Walkinshaw’s blog on “How to win an APM Project Management Award (sort of)”. The blog from the head of marketing at APM contains some very useful pointers and handy hints to give you the best possible chance of being shortlisted amongst the best in the profession.
