We recognize excellence in the usage of technology through our annual Model Awards Program. It encompasses the Model Insurer, Model Bank, Model Wealth Manager, Model Risk Manager, Model Sell Side and Model Buy Side awards.

The awards recognize a financial institution’s effective use of technology and result in a case study detailing the factors that contributed to an initiative's success.

We are now accepting submissions for the 2023 program. The nomination process runs through October 14, 2022.

We know at least 9 good reasons for you to submit a nomination, but let us know if you come up with a new one!

	1. Highlight your team’s achievements within the company by showcasing your award during Celent’s annual Insight & Innovation event.
	2. Gain recognition: Financial institutions view the Celent Model Awards Program as a prestigious honor.
	3. Understand how your initiative stacks up to other financial institutions' programs.
	4. Gain independent, third-party validation of your technology initiative.
