Selection Process
Criteria
Publications must be the work of the author(s) and have been released/published during the previous calendar year. A company may be identified as the owner of a publication when several authors have contributed.
Nominations will be evaluated based on the following:
- • Alignment to the award purpose
- • Effective presentation of content
- • Overall value to the reader of the published work
Nominations
When more than one person submits a nomination for the published work, a lead nominator will be assigned to assemble and submit all nominations and supporting documentation via postal mail.
All nomination letters must be original documents signed by the writer. Electronic letters are not acceptable.
Nomination packets must:
- • Identify the author(s) and the work published
- • Include a paragraph that summarizes the accomplishment for which this award is to be given and that addresses the criteria noted
- • Provide a synopsis of the work

The PMI Professional Awards Member Advisory Group (MAG) may award lead nominators up to two Professional Development Units for submitting nominations for a professional award.
PMI will use PMI.org to call for nominations from the membership and will solicit nominations from PMI’s elected leadership.
Selection Process
The PMI Public Relations Manager, in conjunction with the MAG, will verify the nomination’s eligibility. The Public Relations Manager and the Publications Manager will organize a review panel consisting of subject matter experts from within the PMI membership. The review panel will submit its findings to the MAG for verification.
Only one published work will be selected per calendar year. In the case of multiple authors, each author will be recognized. PMI reserves the right not to select a recipient for a particular year if the review performed indicates nominations do not meet the stated criteria.
