The award is open to both professional and to non-professional project managers who have shown the most meritous project management skills in delivering their work for the community or the environment. There will be less emphasis on technical project management in the submissions for this category, although sound project management skills should be demonstrated.

BNFL Award
The BNFL award is designed for a project or programme that has made an outstanding impact as a result of project management. Entries should demonstrate the results of what can be achieved with good project management and can be from a commercial or non-commercial background and be based on projects or programmes of any size.
The BNFL should be judged by a panel of project management and non project management professionals as the award recognises the contribution that project management makes to society as a whole (economically, environmentally and socially) not just a project that was brilliantly executed.
