The Adam Smith Awards Asia are now in their ninth year and are recognised across the Asia Pacific region and the world as the ultimate industry benchmark. This awards programme brings well-deserved accolades to the very best and brightest in corporate treasury, regardless of company size, budget or industry sector. Winning an Adam Smith Award gives you the opportunity to significantly raise your profile, shine a spotlight on your achievements, and get the recognition you deserve.
Nominations are now open and close on September 5th 2022. Throughout this period, nomination forms are available on our website. Completing a nomination should take no longer than 15 minutes when submitting online. Projects may be in any currency/country/region and only those implemented or being implemented in 2021 and/or 2022 will qualify. Our range of awards categories is designed to shine a spotlight on every aspect of treasury with new categories added for 2022, so there should be something suitable to accommodate every project and solution. There is no charge to submit a nomination and the basic criterion for submissions in the Adam Smith Awards Asia is that the corporate is the end-user of the solution entered, and that they can demonstrate best practice and/or innovation.
You can nominate yourself directly, or your banking and technology partners can assist you with your nominations or can submit nominations on your behalf (with your consent of course). If you believe you and/or your treasury team have delivered real value and demonstrated success, this is your chance to put yourself forward. At this complex time, exceptional corporate treasury teams are rising to the many challenges they are facing. This is your opportunity to showcase what you have done as an individual, as a team, and as a critical business function.
Submissions should show evidence of true effectiveness and of how you as a company benefitted tangibly from the project. Third-party testimonials, figures, charts, diagrams, press releases and other evidence can be included wherever you feel necessary. We look forward to receiving your nominations and to honouring the achievements of the 2022 award winners.
Every year the number and standard of nominations grows ever greater, with a record-breaking 497 submissions received last year, giving our judges an extremely challenging task of selecting the winners. This year will be no exception, and we anticipate strong competition across all categories for these coveted awards.
Once again, we will announce this year’s winners at our Adam Smith Awards Asia digital live winners announcement, to be held on October 7th at 14:00 SGT | 07:00 BST | 08:00 CEST. This live virtual announcement will be hosted by our Publishers, Sophie Jackson and Meg Coates, who will be joined online by some special guests. The live winners announcement will usher in the start of the Adam Smith Awards Asia 2022 season. Come get involved!
We are also planning a prestigious Adam Smith Awards Asia Celebration event in Singapore, to take place in November.
Throughout the coming Adam Smith Awards Asia season we will host our popular winner podcast series, delving deeper into each winning solution and featuring all Overall and Highly Commended Winners and their key partners. We will also produce case studies on all our award winners which will be featured on our website, across our different channels, on social media and in our Treasury Insights newsletter. The winner case studies will be published on our website in January 2023, featuring the success stories of all the Overall Winners and Highly Commended Winners.
We look forward to celebrating this year’s winners’ achievements and to bringing our formidable Asia Pacific community together once again.
