How to Apply

IMPORTANT POINTS FOR YOU TO NOTE WHILE SUBMITTING AN ENTRY:

1. Given the rather tight word-count, you may answer the questions in the form of bullet-points, where applicable.
2. You are welcome to reference vision statements and codes (see side-bar, titled Links to vision statements, codes and standards)
3. It is mandatory for you to provide adequate and relevant supporting documents to back your claims. Judges will not accept your claims as facts without evidence. (The words in the supporting documents do not count towards the word-limits stated. However, please attach only those documents that are absolutely relevant, out of respect for the judges and their busy schedule.)
4. The deadline for submission of entries is 6pm (Indian Standard Time), on Thursday, the 29^th of January 2026. (Entries submitted after the deadline, will not be considered for evaluation.)
5. The category, “Editor’s Choice Award” is not based on submission of entries. It is strictly based on the discretion of the Editor of Climate Control Middle East.
6. You will not be required to make a presentation in front of the judges. Instead, you will participate in a Q&A session. The Q&A session has a standard 15% weightage, so forfeiting the privilege of attending the session would mean loss of points that contribute to the total.
7. Soliciting any favours from judges would lead to immediate dismissal of the submittal or submittals you make.
