AWARDS PROCESS
Winners of the 2025 SCI Risk Sharing Awards will be chosen through a multi-step process.
The first step is a call for submissions. During this period, market participants are invited to put themselves, peers, or colleagues forward for an award. To aid in the selection process, brief written pitches, along with supporting data, can be submitted by those entering for an award.
All award submissions and entries should be submitted by the deadline on June 30.
Based on these entries, the SCI editorial team, alongside our trusted advisory board, will select a shortlist for each award category.
The award winners will be announced at our annual gala black-tie dinner, which is being held at The Pelligon, a stunning venue in Canary Wharf, London.
This year’s awards dinner will take place on October 14.
As a winner at the 2025 SCI Risk Sharing Awards, you could gain global recognition for your hard work, a prestigious award presented on-stage at our black-tie dinner, and coverage in our industry publication, read by thousands of your peers.
Best of luck!
