2018 Project of the Year

2018 Project of the Year

The Project of the Year Award is an annual award given by the Project Management Institute Northern Alberta Chapter (PMINAC).  The Award recognizes the accomplishments of the project team and their project for excellence in project management, superior organizational results, and positive impacts on society. Any project from organizations within the service area of PMINAC is eligible for the competition. Winning projects will be selected through a competitive application and evaluation process. Awards have been made available in 7 different categories, and each Category winner is then considered for the overall Project of the Year. The awards are announced at the PMINAC annual conference and are also published in PMINAC communication channels, and, in the case of the Overall Winner, also advertised in the Edmonton Journal.

New this Year

This year PMINAC has aligned our Award submission form with the PMI Project Awards programs. This means that Chapter participants can be on their way to initiate and fine-tune their applications and submit them to PMI without major changes. For more information about the PMI Awards programs please visit  https://www.pmi.org/about/awards/professional.

Also new this year, PMINAC has introduced the optional Letter of Intent form. This form is intended to provide a channel for project professionals to indicate their sincere interest and engage with the Project of the Year team to get more information and assistance with the Awards program.

Finally, all project submissions this year must fill out and submit the Project Information and Release form as a separate document as part of their submission package.
