Judging Process
After the entry deadline, all entries will be reviewed by the Real Deals editorial team, who will identify a shortlist for each category.
In January 2025 we will contact all entrants to let them know whether or not they have been shortlisted, and the full shortlist will be published on our website.
Shortlisted entries are shared with a panel of judges comprised of senior representatives from leading LPs and PE firms. Judges will score all entries online before meeting in person for final deliberations.
The Private Equity Hall of Fame recipient is nominated by the Real Deals editorial team.
All winners will be announced at the awards ceremony on 3 April 2025.
