Entering the ICPMA Awards is simple.
The application process consists of 3 simple steps:
Tell us about your project - Get started in 5-10 minutes
Let's talk! - Individual short interviews with selected applicants
Share your achievement - submission of presentation, video or narrative for final judging and share to the world.
(1) Tell us about your project
Complete our short online form and tell us:
What is your project?
What challenge did the team face?
What did you do?
What makes the achievement worthy of recognition?
It takes 5-10 minutes.
You do not need to prepare the full award submission at this stage. We just want to understand your project and what makes it special.
That's absolutely fine too.
Instead of completing the online form, you can send us a one-page project overview, ideally including some of the following:
Client, Project Manager and Project Team
Project location
Project description, type, sector and key parameters
Key milestone dates / programme
Project challenges and key drivers
Main focus area
Your award-worthy contribution, achievement, new technique or process
Project photos, plans, graphics or diagrams, where relevant
You can use your own format or use the ICPMA one-page template created for guidance.
Please confirm that you have client approval to share the project information to your entry on our webpage and our official social media channels.
Please email your submission with company and contact details of the submitting party to office@icpma.net before the due date with the subject line
Selected applicants will be invited to a 30-minute online conversation with ICPMA representatives.
This is an opportunity to tell us more about the project, discuss its strongest achievements and clarify the areas that could be developed for the final submission, to enable both parties to get to know each other, making this a personal experience and to ask/clarify questions about the project.
We want this to be a conversation about your project — not another lengthy application process.
The Judges might identify some 'deep dives' from the overview for the final submission video/ presentation.
(3) Share your achievement
Following the conversation, selected projects will be invited to prepare their final submission.
Tell your project's story through whichever format works best:
Short video (preferred, 2-3 minutes) · Presentation · Written narrative
The final submission should help the Jury understand:
The project and its objectives
Its context, challenges and complexity
The strategy, processes and tools used
The results and lessons learned
What makes the contribution award-worthy
Please outline the following:
A short introduction: how did you learn about the ICPMA; what motivated you to submit your project and who your company is, what you do
Your Project overview & 'Focus area': Project and its objectives; context, challenges and complexity
Project strategy and complexity: how to achieve the desired objective, identifying work streams, layers of challenges - by setting out the methodologies/processes or advanced tools/techniques used.
Project result & lessons learnt : challenges overcome and potential further improvement/ refinement areas.
Your award-worthy contribution & differentiator
