Frequently Asked Questions
Can I submit for multiple categories?
Yes, you can submit entries for multiple categories. However, please note that there is an administrative fee for each submission.
Do awards with multiple time periods count as separate submissions?
Yes, each specific time period of an award is considered a separate entry. This applies to awards with different time periods, such as the “ASEAN Equity (3 years, 10 years, 28 years)” award. This approach allows for recognition of consistent excellence over different time periods and provides a more accurate reflection of a firm’s performance.
Can I make changes to my submission after I've submitted it?
Yes, once a submission is submitted and the payment is confirmed, changes can still be made until submissions are closed on December 17, 2025.
How long will it take to receive feedback on my submission?
We aim to review all submissions within 4 weeks of the submission deadline. However, please note that the review process may take longer depending on the volume of submissions.
When will the winners be announced?
The winners of the Best of the Best Awards will be announced on January 23th, 2026.
Can I withdraw my submission?
Please contact us immediately if you need to withdraw your submission. We may be able to process a partial refund of the administrative fee, if you wish to withdraw prior to the submission deadline. We do not accept any withdrawal requests after submissions close.
Can I request feedback on my submission?
While we cannot provide detailed feedback on individual submissions, we can offer general feedback on common areas for improvement.
