Meet the Building Bridges 2026 Billboard Initiative Awards Jury
The Building Bridges Billboard Initiative Awards Jury brings together communications experts to identify and celebrate the most inspiring initiatives featured at Building Bridges 2026. The Building Bridges Initiative Awards takes place for the first time this year and is an interactive and more informative evolution of the billboards that feature in the Village during the three-days of the flagship conference. The jury will assess partner-led initiatives showcased under this year’s theme,”Investable Solutions to Global Challenges.“
The awards are designed to recognise projects that demonstrate innovation, tangible impact and the potential to contribute to real-world transformation. The jury is composed of members of the Building Bridges Communications Committee, representing a broad range of organisations and perspectives from across the sustainable finance ecosystem, including our Diamond Sponsors and Founding Partners. This diversity helps ensure a balanced and credible evaluation process, reflecting the spirit of Building Bridges as a neutral platform that convenes finance, business, public institutions and civil society around shared challenges and practical solutions.
在活动开始前，评审团成员会独立审阅所有提交的提案，然后再参与最终评选。为确保公平性和透明度，隶属于参与机构的评审团成员不会为自己机构的提案投票。.
每项举措都根据七项定性标准进行评估：
- 相关性：与“应对全球挑战的可投资解决方案”这一主题相契合
- 可复制性：在其他环境中进行调整的潜力
- 可扩展性：增长和扩大影响范围的能力
- 持久性：财务信誉和长期生存能力
- 社会影响：对社会结果的考量
- 创造力：原创性和独特性
- 共鸣：激发参与和兴趣的能力
The initiative that best meets these criteria will receive the Building Bridges Jury Award for Best Initiative, while conference participants will simultaneously determine the recipient of the Peoples Choice Award through on-site voting during Building Bridges 2026.
The winners will be announced during the closing plenary session on 8 October 2026, providing an opportunity to spotlight concrete, solution-oriented initiatives from across the Building Bridges community.
