Central Banking Awards - Entry process

• You should receive an email confirming your submission
• You may amend your entry(ies) at any point up until November 10 when the awards process closes
• All entries will be considered by the Central Banking Awards Committee with a view to shortlisting in December
• Shortlists will not be disclosed or made public in any way
• As part of this shortlisting process, individuals may be contacted to ask for more information to support or clarify an entry
• Central Banking will request client reference details for partner and service provider awards during the shortlisting phase. This step is crucial for the judging process, as it provides essential confirmation and feedback. Without these references, judges may struggle to advance entries
• Central Banking will also perform its own due diligence
• Winners will be announced in March at the same time as the publication of articles explaining why institutions and individuals won their awards
• On the record and/or unattributed client references need to be agreed for inclusion in the award write-ups published in March

Judging is conducted by the Central Banking Awards Committee – comprising members of Central Banking’s editorial staff, the Advisory Board and Contributing Editors – chaired by Central Banking’s Editor-in-chief, Christopher Jeffery. The Editor’s decision is final.

Winners will be asked to keep the progress of their application private until March 2026, when the awards will be announced online alongside the publication of awards articles explaining why institutions and individuals won their awards. There will be an opportunity for award winners to be recognised at the Awards Ceremony on June 10, 2026, held at the same time as the Central Banking London Meetings.
