The awards are open to all businesses and individuals worldwide that own, operate and/or manage a supply chain, excluding software vendors, consultancies, academic institutions or those deemed as purely service providers. You do not need to be a member of the Gartner community to submit an entry.
Submissions for the 2022 Power of the Profession Awards will be open for entry online between May and August 2021.
Each entry should use no more than 1,800 words per relevant category. In addition to completing the online form, your entry can also include supporting materials in PDF, PowerPoint or video format (up to three items per entry) which may further demonstrate the scope and impact of your initiative.
When submissions open, you will be able to click through to our online awards entry and judging system. You will need to set up an account so you can manage your nomination(s) – you can build your entry up over time and submit it when you’re ready.

First, all entries will be shortlisted down to a group of semi-finalists by expert analysts from Gartner Supply Chain research teams.
Then we invite members of the supply chain profession who are part of the Gartner community to vote for who should make the group of finalists. Voting will take place between November 6th and December 11th, 2020 – it’s up to your professional peers to decide who makes it to the final stage!
As a Gartner member, you will be able to cast your vote for up to six entries. You may not vote for your own company. Ineligible votes will be discarded.
Voting can be done using the following platform: https://potp.awardsplatform.com/
The finalists will then be individually evaluated by an expert panel of the world’s leading C-level supply chain executives and academics. In this final stage, each judge will rank the three finalists in each category based on their achievement against each of the three award criteria: innovation, execution, and impact. The final winners will be revealed during the March 17th webinar.
One major category, with four subcategories, focusing on advancing the profession:
