The Global Water Awards recognise what senior executives across the international water industry have acknowledged as the most important achievements of the past year.

They are chosen by way of a free vote given to all subscribers to Global Water Intelligence, and Water Desalination Report, as well as to members of the International Desalination Association.

The deadline for all nominations is 31st January 2010. Nominate for this year

Within each category a shortlist of four contenders is decided by the GWI Awards Panel following nominations made by the subscribers of Global Water Intelligence and Water Desalination Report.

The voting process is then opened with subscribers to GWI, WDR and the members of the IDA all entitled to a vote. The ballot will be closed on the 31st March and the results will then be announced at the Global Water Awards dinner which will be sponsored by BEFESA and held in the Marriott Rive Gauche Hotel, Paris on Monday 26th April.

In attendance will be 350 leaders from the international water and finance sectors, many of whom may be in contention for a Global Water Award on the night and eagerly anticipating the results. The "Winners" and those awarded "Distinction" in each category will be presented with an engraved crystal trophy and all shortlisted entries will be presented with a framed certificate. Last year's ceremony was an inspiring event for all in attendance with a speech from Al Gore who presented the Awards on the night. The guest of honour next year will be Her Majesty Queen Noor of Jordan.
