After you’ve nominated
The nomination deadline is Thursday August 30 2012. No nominations will be accepted after this date. The online survey will then be closed and the Hotelier Middle East team will begin shortlisting the entries.
In each category, a shortlist of five candidates will be chosen. These will be posted online at HotelierMiddleEast.com and the person that nominated each shortlisted nominee will be contacted.
The five shortlisted in each category, will then be submitted to Hotelier’s independent panel of judges, which last year comprised Stefan Breg, chief worrier at Tribe Restaurant Creators; Lynne Bellinger, MD, Learnpurple UAE, Kathi Everden, editorial consultant; Ron Hilvert, founder and MD, Emirates Academy of Hospitality Management, Naim Maadad, hospitality consultant, Roya, Guy Wilkinson, partner and GM of Viability, a specialist hospitality and real estate consultancy in Dubai and Louise Oakley, group editor – hospitality, ITP Business.

The judges will have two weeks to analyse the nominations and cast their votes on the top three in each category. The entire judging panel will then come together at a judging day to discuss their opinions and decide upon one winner in each category and one highly commended runner up. Their decision will be based on the nomination submitted in the context of the panel’s hospitality background.
Names of the winners will be kept a highly guarded secret until the glamourous black tie awards ceremony being held at a five-star location in Dubai on October 31. With more than 600 hoteliers attending every year, it’s the highlight of the Middle East hotel industry’s calendar and one event you cannot afford to miss!
