Nominations open Monday 5th January and close Thursday 19th March 2026
The Adam Smith Awards are for corporate treasury professionals: the end users of the solutions entered. You can nominate yourself directly – or, with your permission, your bank or service provider can submit a nomination on your behalf. The nomination form will be available on the Adam Smith Awards pages of our website throughout the nomination period.
In 2026, our panel of judges will be looking for exceptional solutions that demonstrate best practice and innovation in the corporate treasury arena.
Full details on how to prepare and submit your entries can be found in our nomination guides, available now.
The basic criterion for the Adam Smith Awards is that entries demonstrate best practice and/or innovation, evidenced by any of the following:
Outstanding cost savings.
Above average ROI.
Optimal account/treasury structure.
Quantitative improvements in efficiency.
Cutting edge technology.
Tailor-made solution.
Exceptional implementation (budget/time).
Quality accreditation.
Deals may be in any currency, country or region. Only deals implemented between 1stJanuary 2025 and 30thApril 2026 qualify.
The Adam Smith Awards recognise solutions primarily implemented in EMEA and/or the Americas. The Adam Smith Awards Asia recognise solutions primarily implemented within the APAC region. If your solution is global in nature, please base your submission on the region where your organisation is located.
By submitting a nomination to the Adam Smith Awards programme, you agree that, if selected as a winner, a case study of your solution will be published by the Treasury Today Group. All winners will be invited to the Celebration Dinner in London in June 2026, and a representative must attend to collect the award.
Top tips
Please don’t be dissuaded from submitting a nomination even if you feel your company may not fit a typical profile. We welcome entries from organisations of all sizes.
Focus on the problem your solution addresses and the benefits delivered – both qualitative and quantitative.
While most solutions involve a bank or service partner, your submission should highlight your treasury team’s leadership, decisions and outcomes.
If your submission qualifies for more than one category, you may select up to three categories on the nomination form.
Please submit any relevant supporting documentation if it adds to your submission.
