The seventh annual Middle East Consultant Awards are scheduled to take place on January 19, 2022, with nominations closing on November 18, 2021. The event will be held at the Ritz Carlton JBR in Dubai and will honor the region’s top individuals, organisations and projects, and will follow all COVID-19 related safety protocols.

For the 2021 edition, 25 awards are up for grabs including Architectural Company of the Year, Gender Diversity Champion of the Year, Facilities Management Company of the Year, Interior Design Company of the Year, Industry Influencer of the Year and Onsite Safety Champion of the Year. Once again, the Project of the Year category will recognise three winners across: Residential & Commercial; Hospitality & Tourism; Retail & Public Facilities.

November 18 is the hard deadline for nominations this year – no extensions will be offered, according to the Middle East Consultant editorial team. To help individuals and companies put in quality submissions ahead of the deadline, the editorial team will be featuring interviews with the judges of the last MEC Awards in the November issue of Middle East Consultant, highlighting what companies should and shouldn’t do. Video content will also be shared on the staging.bigprojectme.com/ LinkedIn page in the coming days.

Individuals and organisations can nominate for categories of interest by visiting www.meconsultantawards.com. FAQs and nomination guidelines are also present on the website.

All nominations will be judged by a panel of experts from several of the region’s most prominent contractors, developers, industry bodies and property analysts.
