Romania-Insider.com, the most read English publication dedicated to Romania, launched the second edition of the Romania Insider Awards.

Created to encourage #PositiveRomania by supporting performance, creativity, social and economic impact as well as ethics in business, the Romania Insider Awards will additionally celebrate 30 years of democracy and free market in Romania.

Nominations can be submitted online until July 31, 2019. Application is free of charge.

This is one of the most rigorous selection processes in Romania, with an ethical and transparent two-step selection procedure, offering a fair opportunity for the best companies and projects to win.

Similarly to the previous edition, in 2019 a Board of Advisors composed of representatives of the main international Chambers of Commerce and top professionals will review and select 3 finalists from the proposals received for each award category through the electronic registration system. Then, a Jury of top managers will decide the winners from three finalists proposed by the Board of Advisors for each category. In order to ensure selection impartiality, nominations will be anonymized in both rounds.

The members of the Board of Advisers and the Jury are business people with a wide professional trajectory and managing the most diverse businesses.

The awards are open to all persons, companies, and NGOs interested to apply.
