FAQs
 

Who decides the awards?

The Ishka Insights team, a group of researchers and analysts, will decide as a panel on the final winning list of deals. More details on the Ishka Insights team can be found at www.ishkaglobal.com.

Do I need to specify categories?

No. It is not necessary for submitters to specify which category a deal is most eligible for. Ishka will allocate the best deals to the appropriate categories.

Can I reuse an existing awards submission we used for another publication?

Yes, Ishka wants to make this process as easy as possible as long as the rationale is clear as to why a deal should win, and the structure of the deal is clearly laid out. 

For any further enquiries please email Ishka Editor Dickon Harris (dickon@ishkaglobal.com).
