The Young Crew initiative under the auspices of the IPMA; with repute as the world’s premier global professional project management organization announces the call for nominations for the 2012 IPMA Young Project Manager Award. The Young Crew as a community of practice is dedicated to promoting the practice and process of project management as a discipline across all sectors of industry; and actively engaged in supporting the development of future leaders within the project management domain.

This award gives an insight into the rapidly increasing number of young professionals who have embraced project management as a profession, which has evidently resulted in a growing demographic of both emerging and young project managers worldwide. This prestigious award is aimed at identifying young project professionals who have participated in or led the delivery of successful projects, whose outcome had an impact on international business or social change.

The IPMA Young Project Manager Award is open to project managers aged 18 to 35 at the time of application who have worked or are currently working on a project for at least six months. The criteria for evaluation of the award is based upon the ICB (IPMA Competence Baseline), and finalists will be chosen based upon the strength of their overall nomination package. Members and non-members of IPMA are eligible to apply.
