Entering the Oil & Gas Awards

• Organizations are invited to submit entries for their chosen categories and regions in the Oil & Gas Awards through a self-nomination process. There is no charge for entering the Awards.

• If your organization enters the Awards and is voted a finalist by the Awards

judges your organization must attend the corresponding regional Oil & Gas Awards gala dinner. Please review the costs for attending the Awards at: http://www.oilandgasawards.com/pricing and plan your budgets appropriately.

• Organizations that enter the awards automatically receive complimentary

delegate passes to attend the regional Industry Summit held during the day immediately preceding each Awards gala dinner where applicable.

regions your organization has entered. We also advise you may wish to prepare senior executives, so that if your organization is honored as a finalist they may wish to represent your organization at the gala dinner.
