The event has its 31 Awards split across several categories: Individual Awards; Sustainability Awards; Developer Awards; Contractor Awards, and Project Awards. Organisations with offices in the Middle East and North Africa are welcome to nominate.
The deadline for nominations is 5pm on 30 November 2025. No extensions will be offered, the BPME team confirmed.

'The BPME team and I are excited to launch nominations for the 16th edition of the highly regarded BPME Awards. This year, in particular, the team has built up relationships with multiple developers who have recently entered the region, and expects significant nominations – and competition – in the developer specific categories,' said Jason Saundalkar, Head of Content at Big Project Middle East.
'The team has also put together a video guide that explains the nomination form in detail in a bid to make it easier for new companies to compile information and submit the strongest nominations possible. The step-by-step guide works hand-in-hand with the nomination guidelines, so I encourage first time participants to pay close attention to both,' Saundalkar added.
