PMI Project of the Year Award

The PMI Project of the Year Award is to recognize, honor, and publicize a successful project and the achievements of the project team for superior performance of project management.

The Call for Nominations opens 1 November 2013; the submission deadline is 1 April 2014. Please revisit this site on 1 November when the 2014 application forms and resource links will be activated.

  • The nominated project can be of any type or industry, from either the public or private sector.
  • Nominated projects from throughout the world are encouraged to participate.
  • The project must be perceived as having exemplarily applied project management principles and techniques.

Not Eligible

  • Sitting members of PMI’s Board of Directors may not participate in the nomination or evaluation process of this award, nor are members of the Board eligible to receive this award.
  • Individuals or organizations that have failed to comply with PMI policies and procedures, including but not limited to PMI's Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct, will not be considered.
  • A project that has either won or competed for a PMI Distinguished Project Award is not eligible for the PMI Project of the Year Award. However, the project may have won awards or other recognition from other professional associations, including awards from PMI chapters. If a chapter holds its own Project of the Year contest, all nominations are eligible to be submitted by the chapter or independently after the chapter contest to the PMI Professional Awards Program’s PMI Project of the Year Award competition if it meets the criteria outlined in the award description. Winning other awards is not a criterion for this award.
  • Failure to provide the necessary permissions and releases will eliminate the PMI Project of the Year Award nomination from consideration.
