HOW TO ENTER

The IPE Real Estate Awards is the first event to honour investors and service providers alike for performance, transparency and innovation within the real estate sector.

We ask pension funds to put forward an activity in which they believe they have excelled in during the 16 months period (from January 2008 to April 2009). 

Pension funds can also submit this same entry and/or additional entries to the Themed Awards (If you submit the same entry for a Country/Regional Award and a Themed Award it means that your entry will be judged twice: 1. At national/regional level against all other entries from pension funds in your country/region and, 2. At pan-European level against all other entries for the Themed Award you have entered).
