Revealed: Shortlist for the 2025 Middle East Consultant Awards ...United Arab Emirates

The shortlist for the 2025 edition of the annual Middle East Consultant Awards (MEC Awards) has been announced by the Middle East Consultant (MEC) editorial team.

The gala event is scheduled to take place on 9 December at the Ritz Carlton JBR, Dubai, and will open with networking at 7pm sharp. The MEC team also confirmed that, for the first time in the award program’s history, it will be adopting a theme: A Hollywood Night. The event will have a black-tie dress code, the MEC team said.

“We wanted to put a new spin on how we recognise excellence at the Middle East Consultant Awards for 2025 and decided to adopt a theme for the first time,” revealed Jason Saundalkar, Head of Content at Middle East Consultant. “Hollywood buffs are welcome to bring their own props if they wish to have a bit of fun on the evening of the awards, as we will have our own paparazzi grabbing pictures to share on our Flickr account and social media platforms. We will also be doing some fun things that I hope will give our guests a memorable evening and close to the year, whether they walk away with an award or are just recognised on the shortlist.”

As before, the awards categories were segmented into three main groups for the 2025 edition of the MEC Awards: Company; Project and Individuals. The MEC team confirmed that over 170 nominations were submitted across the program’s various categories, which included several new additions such as: Fire Safety Consultant of the Year; Outstanding Debut Award, and others.

Following the close of nominations, judging was done in two phases; the first was conducted internally by the MEC editorial team, whilst the second featured inputs from several industry personalities. The industry judging panel comprised senior personalities from developers, contractors and industry bodies. The industry judging panel met in-person to vote on nominations in each category following a review period of nearly two weeks.

“This year saw a mix of extremely high-quality nominations, as well as many that weren’t up to the mark. With the latter, those nominations were eliminated in the first round of judging and didn’t make the shortlist. In some categories, this means that although we will be recognising a winner on the night of the awards, there is no accompanying shortlist, and thus those categories aren’t published along with this news piece. On the whole, the judging process was quite challenging this year, so I’m incredibly thankful to our panel of industry judges for the time and effort they dedicated to this process,” Saundalkar added.
