ICA Compliance Awards Europe

There is no charge for submitting your work into the ICA Compliance Awards Europe 2027.

There are 3 main criteria sections, each carrying a maximum word count of 400 words. The final section (validation) is optional to submit supporting evidence.

Supporting evidence is not mandatory, but it is still a great way to support your written submission. We encourage you to provide stakeholder / client testimonials or other supporting evidence to strengthen your entry.

You can include graphs, reports, charts, testimonials, images and video content. You can upload one file but it can be multiple pages. Please ensure you reference the material in the criteria sections to ensure judges can easily match up the evidence to the criteria it’s linked to.

Project based entries are required to be currently active or if completed, to have been completed within the past 12-18 months. People nominated for specific awards should either be in post or should have left their post no longer than 6 months prior.

To maintain the credibility and standard of the awards, all individual categories must be nominated by a manager, colleague or key stakeholder. Individuals cannot enter themselves. We encourage individuals who would like to put themselves forwards to find an internal or external champion who can endorse their achievements over the past 12-18 months.

No, there is no mandatory attendance at the awards ceremony in June as a result of a successful entry. The ICA Compliance Awards Europe 2027 team would encourage you to celebrate your success and be part of the event. Please contact the team to discuss this further.

All entries submitted to the ICA Compliance Awards Europe 2027 will be read by our appointed judges, ICA staff, and internal awards administrative teams. Judges, which are recruited externally, will have signed an internal judging agreement within our system to protect the integrity of your entries. This is not a legal NDA, but an agreement set in place to protect your privacy.

If you have specific requirements with regards to confidentiality, please contact our team to discuss if it is possible that arrangements can be made for you. The ICA would like to share best practice with our community and part of the agreement you enter with the ICA is to share your projects, people and organisations on our ICA platform. However, you are welcome to opt out of this. For further clarification please contact our team.

The team, project, or individual that forms the focus of your entry must be located / or delivered within Europe. We will accept entries where the submitter is located outside of Europe, ONLY if the company they are representing has teams and business operations in Europe.  

This is to help our judging panel with benchmarking and regulatory context. It also means that more teams can join us for the celebration in London on the 24 June 2027. 

If your entry is referencing a team, project or individual outside of Europe, please review the entry criteria for the ICA Compliance Awards APAC and MENA.

Yes at any time, just get in touch with our team.

The shortlist will be announced on 17 March 2027. Winners will be announced in the ceremony taking place on 24 June 2027. For attendance queries please contact the team.
