The Big Project Middle East (BPME) editorial team has revealed the partial list of companies, individuals and projects shortlisted for the 16th edition of the annual Big Project Middle East Awards (BPME Awards).
The BPME team confirmed over 150 nominations were submitted across 31 categories by a diverse mix of organisations from across the region.
Nominations closed in early January 2026, following which each nomination went through two rounds of scrutiny; the first was conducted by the BPME editorial team, with the remaining nominations being presided over by a panel of five judges in early January 2026. The judging panel will be announced on the night of the Awards, the BPME team confirmed.
Individuals, companies and projects that made the shortlist, as well as those that scored the most first choice votes, will be celebrated at the gala dinner event on 11 February at the Ritz Carlton JBR in Dubai.
The impartial elimination rounds saw the consolidation of some categories due to a lack of stand-out nominations, as well as some categories where one clear winner stood out. The full shortlist and list of winners will only be revealed at the gala dinner, the BPME team explained.
