One of four categories in MNN's inaugural Awards for Excellence, the CEO of the Year award recognises standout value creation in the period between July 1, 2016, and June 30, 2017.

We'll assess the extent of a company's enterprise value shift in the qualifying period, but also take into account a range of external and internal factors that may have figured in the value shift, including changes in commodity prices, significant sector and/or market specific changes, currency movements, and other macro (economic/political, exploration success, and corporate changes, M&A, etc).

We will also examine factors such as the overall relative quality of company senior management teams, and the base from which a company's value has changed.

Nominees can nominate themselves or someone else.

You can nominate here until June 30.
