The purpose, eligibility requirements, evaluation criteria, and nomination guidelines for each award are available through the PM Awards link.

Step 1:
Nominees must complete and submit the online nomination within timeline via the PMI Bangladesh Project Management Awards 2026 website: https://www.pmibdchapter.org/project-management-symposium-2026/section/pmi_awards

Step 2:
Selected nominees will participate in an online grooming session conducted by the Bangladesh Chapter on a scheduled date, which will be announced later.

Step 3:
At this stage, nominees are required to respond to a set of questions and provide supporting documents and project artifacts, such as the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), schedules, cost estimates, quality and risk management plans, progress reports, change management documentation, procurement strategies and records, as well as staffing and communication plans.

Step 4:
Applications will then undergo final evaluation, validation, and interviews by a distinguished panel of jury members of national repute. The Bangladesh Chapter will announce the final results, including winners and runners-up, on 26 September 2026.

An “Awards Evaluation Committee 2026” will be established this year to independently oversee and ensure the integrity, consistency, and quality of the award evaluation process. The committee will be led by a Chair and supported by multiple Co-Chairs, with at least one Chair / Co-Chair assigned to a specific Jury Board group to ensure effective monitoring and coordination.

The committee will be responsible for maintaining the quality of evaluations at every stage of the process, including question-and-answer sessions and presentations, ensuring fairness, adherence to timelines, quality of delivery, and consistency in judgment. Accordingly, the number of Co-Chairs will be aligned with the number of Jury Board groups to ensure adequate coverage.

All Jury Board evaluations will be submitted directly to the Awards Evaluation Committee. In addition, designated representatives from the committee will also provide independent assessments. The final decisions at each stage will be made by consolidating all evaluations and applying expert judgment to ensure fairness and transparency.

The committee will also be responsible for reviewing all evaluations and formally publishing the results at each stage of the assessment process.

Director, Program & Sponsorship  will also be assigned as a liaison officer from the Chapter to facilitate smooth communication and coordination between the Awards Evaluation Committee and relevant stakeholders throughout the evaluation process.

The program is administered by PMI Bangladesh Chapter.
