GlobalCapital's Equity Capital Markets Awards will recognise the outstanding deals and market participants of the year 2015, in the EMEA region.
There will be three groups of Awards. Those for the Deals of the Year and the Best Non-Bank Market Participants will be decided by a poll of people in the market, which we invite you to take part in online here. The poll is open until Monday February 8.
If you would rather have the poll as a Word file, that is fine, please email jon.hay@globalcapital.com.
The awards for the Best Banks will be decided by GlobalCapital's editorial team. Banks do not need to pitch for these Awards, but if they would like to inform us about what they think they have done well, we would be happy to discuss it.
Our Awards Dinner will be held at the Banking Hall in central London on Wednesday March 16, and we look forward to welcoming you there.
For more information about the Awards or to ask any questions, please contact Jon Hay, corporate finance editor, jon.hay@globalcapital.com.
