The 2022 edition will recognise companies, government departments and individuals across 21 categories
Developers, government departments and contractors now have until 15 November 2022 to submit nominations for the 2022 Big Project Middle East Awards (BPME Awards), the Big Project Middle East (BPME) editorial team has announced. Running for over 11 years, the annual event will recognise the region’s top developers, contractors and government departments at a gala event in Dubai, at the Ritz Carlton JBR on 15 December 2022.
Covering a range of sectors including contracting, project, individual and initiative focused awards, the Big Project ME Awards 2022 reflects the diversity and reach of the construction industry, the editorial team said.
This year, a total of 21 awards are up for grabs including: Contractor of the Year; Developer of the Year; Project of the Year; Infrastructure Project of the Year; Supplier of the Year; Sustainable Government Department of the Year; Big Project ME Executive of the Year and others.

Commenting on why the deadline for nominations was extended, Gavin Davids, Head of Editorial and Content at BPME states, “Given the high-volume of interest in this year’s Big Project ME Awards and how busy this period is for companies and individuals, we decided to extend the nomination deadline to 15 November, so as to give everyone the best chance to put forward quality nominations. We wish everyone the best and look forward to unveiling the shortlist and winners in due course.”
As before, there is no cost to submit nominations for the BPME Awards, and nominations will only be accepted via the event’s dedicated website. Once nominations close, they will be studied by an independent panel of judges comprising individuals from the consulting side of the construction industry, as well as academia.

Sharing his thoughts on how companies can stand out with their nominations, Davids states, “It’s important to take time with your submissions – detail exactly what you’ve accomplished and delivered over the last year. The more data and information you can share, the more informed the judges will be about your suitability as a winner.”
He also warns, “One thing that will work against you is submitting a company brochure or marketing pack – your nomination should introduce your company, tell us what you’re all about and be clear and concise. Each year, we receive hundreds of nominations, so if you want to stand out from your competitors, make sure the nomination reflects your achievements clearly and authentically.”
“It’s critical to include signed and stamped testimonials and endorsements in your submissions, as it gives the judges an opportunity to see how your partners, clients and stakeholders value your company’s contribution to their projects and operations,” he concludes. |
