The 2024 edition of the popular Big Project Middle East Awards (BPME Awards) will take place on 29 January 2025, the Big Project Middle East (BPME) team has confirmed.
The gala dinner event is returning to the Ritz Carlton JBR, Dubai and will recognise excellence from across the construction supply chain, including government organisations, developers, contractors, and suppliers. Read about all the categories here.
The 15th edition of the event has its 31 Awards split across several categories: Individual Awards; Sustainability Awards; Developer Awards; Contractor Awards, and Project Awards. The BPME team has confirmed that nominations are now open and noted that the nomination process has been streamlined.
“This being the 15th year of the prestigious BPME Awards, the BPME team wanted to make a change with regards to the nomination process. As before you have to make your case to the panel of judges but we now ask that this be done on our website by highlighting key achievements via bullet points, following which you can address the judges via a 300-word essay (please see the screenshot). As far as supporting documentation, we now only accept testimonials,” said Jason Saundalkar, Head of Content at Big Project Middle East.

“With the 2024 edition of the BPME Awards we will continue to focus on the full breadth of the construction supply chain, and will recognise excellence across small, medium and large developers, contractors, government agencies etc. I encourage everyone to pay close attention to the nomination guidelines and the individual category instructions, as that is the best way to find out exactly what you need to put in a winning nomination,” explained Saundalkar.
Following the close of nominations on 6 December, the BPME editorial team will go through the first round of eliminations, and will then send the remaining nominations to a panel of expert judges from the industry.
The shortlist for the BPME Awards will be revealed in early January 2025, following which shortlisted companies and winners will be recognised at a gala dinner function on 29 January.
