  • Please provide a clear explanation as to why you should win the EuroFinance Treasury Award for Excellence. Although we require some information about your company in the online entry form, what we are ultimately looking for is a compelling story showing concrete examples of treasury-led/implemented transformation project (s) that show good communication, mobilisation of resources and teamwork through adversity.
  • You may submit supporting material but this must be in English. (Testimonials from your chief executive, investors, bankers, or internal customers/stakeholders may be helpful but are not necessary).
  • Any commercially sensitive information in the entry should be marked as such and will not be publicised by the judging panel. Please note, however, that you must provide an adequate amount of disclosure to justify the award.
  • Winners will be expected to make a treasury executive available for interview, for an article to be published on the EuroFinance website, and should notify their communications teams of this.

  Submit your entry today.

• Criteria and eligibility

  The annual EuroFinance Treasury Award for Excellence is presented to the company that best embodies the themes of EuroFinance’s flagship event.

  Banks, FIs, software providers and other vendors are not eligible to enter but we welcome submissions on behalf of your corporate clients.
  Competition for this award is strong, and so it is unlikely (but not impossible) that treasuries from the smallest businesses will satisfy the criteria.

  • An interview with the EuroFinance editorial team to be published on the EuroFinance newsroom

  • Banks and vendors whose clients win an award may license the Award logo from EuroFinance

• Judging process

  • The judging panel will comprise members of the EuroFinance editorial, research and programming teams, chaired by the Senior Editor and a team of treasury experts.
  • The judging panel may conduct its own additional research or put questions to the entrants in order to clarify your submissions
  • Entrants will be notified whether they have won or been shortlisted as soon after the closing date as a thorough judging process allows
