Introduction

This is my first report for the PM World Journal.  I am excited about reporting news and information about project management in Croatia. But this first month, I want to report about the Project Management Awards and celebration of winners that occurred in late 2019, a program that I was intimately involved with.  I am proud to report that the 2019 Project Management Awards program was extremely successful, with many participants, winners, sponsors and stakeholders.  So here is a short report about that special occasion in December.

Project Management Awards Winners in Croatia Announced

Project Management Awards 2019 by Croatian Association for Project Management and IPMA Young Crew Croatia Announce their Winners

The Project Management Awards are a set of awards in the field of project management given annually by Croatian Association for Project Management and Young Crew Croatia. The competition is a framework for assessing one’s own competences in the competitive environment of the Republic of Croatia and provides an opportunity for winners to participate at the IPMA International Project Management Awards as a representative of the Republic of Croatia.

The prizes are awarded in three different categories:

  • Best young project manager
  • Best project by young project manager
  • Best young researcher in the field of project management

Young Crew Croatia (YCC) is a part of IPMA Young Crew, the global network for young professionals enthusiastic about project management. It is a platform for young project management professionals and students up to the age of 35 and it is a key component of IPMA’s growth and development of the leaders of tomorrow. Young Crew is a part of International Project Management Association (IPMA).

The PM Awards got a golden makeover in 2019 for the 5th anniversary. End of the year is always a good time to look back and Esplanade Zagreb Hotel was a perfect venue for the Gala Dinner that took place on December 17, 2019.
