Outstanding Achievement Award

The most prestigious of our individual awards, the APM Outstanding Achievement Award is given to an individual who has made a significant, impactful, positive contribution to the project profession.  

This category recognises one individual who has made a significant and outstanding contribution to the project profession, be that as a single effort, or as a sustained set of activities over a long period. 

The winner of this award will be a leader associated with the profession who has made a significant impact on individuals or the profession itself. The winner’s contribution should be significant regardless of whether the achievement is well known or not.

This award is open for nominations only and individuals cannot nominate themselves.

Nominations to this category are to be a submission of up to 1,000 words (in English) based on the judging criteria. Entrants may also submit up to four pieces of supporting evidence - images or graphics only (no text apart from captions). Evidence must support information already included in the submission and must not introduce additional information.  Video and audio is not accepted as part of the submission.  Please see further details on the ‘Supporting evidence’ tab of the Awards platform.

The APM Outstanding Achievement Award category is a written stage only judging category. The winner will be notified ahead of the APM Awards and invited to sit with APM’s CEO at the Awards ceremony in November.

Please ensure the nominee is aware of the nomination. The submission must be factually correct and include contact details for the nominee. Successful nominees will have an opportunity to review the submission written about them and inaccurate submissions may be disqualified.

The winner will be announced at the Awards Ceremony on 18 November.
