The Project Management Institute (PMI) has established a number of awards to recognize and honor contributors to the Institute and for achievement in the project management field. One of those is the Project of the Year (POY) Awards Program.

The purpose of the POY Awards Program is to recognize, honor, and widely publicize the accomplishments of the project teams who choose to thrive for excellence in the application of project management principles and techniques. Projects from everywhere in the world are encouraged to participate, regardless of size, industry type or location. PMI affiliation is not necessary, however the project must be essentially complete at the time of nomination. providing:
