Assessment & judging
The Euromoney Markets Awards are built on a clear and efficient entry process designed to be rigorous without being burdensome. Each category requires only 2–3 simple quantitative metrics for H1 2025 and FY 2025, alongside concise written evidence describing the organisation’s strategy, performance and innovation. Submissions are integrated into our proprietary scoring framework to be analysed by our dedicated team of market specialists, followed by detailed one-on-one pitch calls, and supported by insights from senior market practitioners and our network of industry association partners.
Our evaluation combines the quantitative information provided in submissions with independent market analysis to form a holistic, KPI‑driven benchmark of excellence across global markets. All information submitted is treated confidentially and is also used – in aggregated and anonymised form – to enhance Euromoney’s market‑leading competitive intelligence, strengthening our editorial insight into how markets infrastructure, technology and execution are evolving globally.
Participants may enter as many categories as are relevant to their business, and our team is available to guide entrants through the process or discuss which categories best align with their capabilities.
