Proximo's Deal of the Year Awards are the industry gold-standard for excellence in project, infrastructure and energy finance. We recognise outstanding deals in relevant industries in North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific. To win an award is an outstanding accolade and one which champions are rightly proud of.
Submissions for Proximo’s 2025 awards are now open. Send your completed submissions form to submissions@exilegroup.com to be in with a chance to win. We want to hear what makes your transaction stand out — tell us why it's innovative, unique, and worthy of recognition!
The submission form includes the information that Proximo requires to be able to assess a transaction's eligibility, outstanding features, and to allow the market to vote on its merits.
Deals may already be present on our online data platform. Please click here to see if you deal already exists. If so, please check our entry for accuracy, and suggest any changes or additional roles on the deal , as well as let us know why that deal is exceptional, innovative, or influential.
Eligible transactions will be any financing for an energy, resources, renewables, or infrastructure project that has closed during 2025. Non-recourse, limited recourse and full recourse deals with interesting features or structures will all be considered. The categories we award in are not fixed, and will reflect levels of market activity, but you are welcome to suggest categories based on past awards winners. To qualify, a transaction must have closed (i.e., signed, met its conditions precedent and be ready to fund) within 2025.
The deadline for submissions is 12 December 2025. If your deal is likely to close towards the end of 2025, Proximo strongly recommends that you submit details of the transaction under embargo so that they can be reviewed for eligibility. Any embargo would be lifted at signing. Alternatively you may request an extension to gather relevant information, but at the same time as requesting please provide the deal sector and region so that any relevant category can be left open. An extension may not be automatically granted.
There may be instances when you are unable to provide all of the required information, say because you or your client are unable or unwilling to disclose certain details. In general, the more detail we receive, the easier it is to decide on the merits of the transaction, and ideally we should see any evidence you have for an assertion you make in your rationale for submission. At a minimum we would need to know the overall size of the transaction, the debt size and the names of all firms that worked on the deal .
