Individuals and companies will submit written entries to the awards, which the judges will review and whittle down to a shortlist for each category. The shortlists will be announced on the event website and on FT Adviser.

Format: A panel of judges will be picked by the editorial team based on their expertise within the industry, reflecting a spread of companies and groups. There will be a minimum of six judges including at least one from the editorial staff.

All judging is done on the basis of criteria outlined in the entry requirements, but judges are allowed to take into account their own experience of liaising with entrants.

Entries should be from FCA-regulated, UK-based companies and refer to the past 12 months.
