It is an annual source of pride for this title that we host peer-review awards, gathering a team of independent industry experts to weigh up submissions and (secretly) select winners for the coveted IJGlobal Awards 2020.
With submissions building up nicely for the 4 regional awards – portal open until 12 March (access it here) – we are delighted to announce the MENA judging team for IJGlobal Awards 2020.
As always, we have gathered a line-up of judges who have deep experience across the full range of infrastructure and energy activity across the MENA region – industry professionals with a finger on the pulse.
It should be noted that, as with all of our regional Judgment Day sessions, judges are recused from categories in which they are active so as not to influence voting where they have a vested interest.

The tragic death of Mikaela Claridge must be the catalyst for change as the old system and old ways of doing things are broken and must be fixed.
MIKAELA’S TRAGIC DEATH MUST FORCE CHANGE
The death of Mikaela Claridge in August 2019 was tragic, a beautiful young woman with a beaming smile and a joy for life and only married for four months was suddenly gone.
I have two young daughters and shed a tear for Mikaela and her family and friends every time I see or read a story about her.
Those close to Mikaela live the horror every day.
