Terms & Conditions - Entries The IP Real Estate Awards cannot accept entries from pensions-owned investment vehicles or funds. In addition, the IP Real Estate Awards reserves the right to restrict entries from pension-owned asset managers to themed awards only if their entry concerns a specific area of their operations, for example commodities investing, that is not drafted in support of a specific pension fund’s own investment strategy and objectives. Confidentiality of entries At the request of the pension funds entering the Awards, IP Real Estate will keep the identity of pension funds confidential, only disclosing the names of winners, runners-up and shortlisted entries. However, the entry submitted from the winning pension fund will be used for the full article that appears in the IP Real Estate Awards Supplement, which is distributed on the evening of the Awards and with the subsequent edition of IP Real Estate. Terms & Conditions - Judging All the entries for a particular Regional, Themed, Silver, Gold or Platinum Award are made available online to each judge for that category. They review and score each entry independently. Their scores are forwarded to IP Real Estate to determine the winner and highly commended. If there are pension funds with equal top scores, IP Real Estate's practice is to present the award to both funds. If no fund’s entry reaches a sufficient standard in the view of the judges, no award is presented. There is one award that is awarded purely through a process of nomination by IP Real Estate's readers and the resulting short-list voted on by IP Real Estate’s judges. This is the Outstanding Industry Contribution. Up to 30 judges can be involved in the IP Real Estate Awards. We have a local panel of judges for each Regional Award. Each Themed, Bronze and the Gold Best Long-Term Investment Strategy Award has its own panel of judges, who are experts in that category. A separate panel of judges considers entries for the Smaller European Pension Fund Award, as this needs to comprise judges based in different countries to give an all-round assessment. The judges’ view is final and no correspondence or contact between judges and entrants is entertained. It is inevitable in a business such as ours that conflicts of interest can occur at the judging stage. We rely on our judges to make sure that such factors do not influence their views, but if a serious conflict were to emerge the judge involved would discuss the matter with IP Real Estate and excuse themselves from judging that particular entry. You may submit the same entry and/or additional entries for the Regional Awards and/or the Themed Awards. If you do submit the same entry for your region and different themes, it will be judged independently by the relevant judging panels:
