The online nominations for this year’s Asia Boating Awards are now open. Readers of Asia-Pacific Boating and China Boating, all yacht owners, as well as enthusiasts can nominate their favourites in 21 categories.
The nominations form is now online and anyone can nominate their personal choices in categories that cover the best in Asian yacht builders, international yacht brands and models, Asian regattas, marinas and clubs, as well as personalities and charter companies.
This is your chance to see the brands, models, people and companies that you think deserve recognition be given a shot at winning Asian yachting’s most prestigious prizes.
A final shortlist of the most popular nominees will be created and sent to a panel of expert judges who will determine the final winner of an Asia Boating Award from the shortlist.
Readers may nominate in as many categories or as few categories as they wish. Nominating is easy. Simply visit the Asia-Pacific Boating website, enter your name and email address (to prevent duplication), enter your choices in each category, write few descriptions and press submit. That’s all there is to it. Everyone who submits a nomination will receive a free digital subscription to Asia-Pacific Boating magazine or China Boating magazine for one issue, available through Magzter. The nomination deadline is 31 March, 2014 at noon in Hong Kong time.
The awards night is a gala ceremony with a black-tie dinner, where the best of the best in Asian and international yachting are recognised for quality products and services. This is the chance for the companies and people you believe have earned it to make their mark on the Asia market, with yacht owners, industry insiders and VIP guests attending the event.
