Asset managers, consultancies and pension schemes will have a further week to enter the 2019 Pension and Investment Provider Awards and stake their claim as the best in their respective industries.

The PIPAs seek to celebrate the very best work done in the pensions and investment industry over the past year, and for this year only will also invite entries from companies that have made a significant impact over the 20 years that the awards have been running.

From administrators to active equity managers, the awards categories cover a wide variety of pensions services. The awards will also honour the DB and DC schemes of the year, and invite submissions for the best educational initiative run by either a scheme, consultant or commercial provider during the year.

Entries will be assessed by our expert panel of industry peers, who will also name an industry champion.

Candidates can now enter all of our award categories. The extended deadline for submissions is February 8 2019.

You can find a full list of categories below, and details of how to enter and submission guidelines are available on the awards site.

The awards ceremony will take place on May 15 2019 at the Sheraton Grand in London's Park Lane, starting at 6.15pm.
