Since EG announced the finalists for this year’s EG Awards, Twitter and Instagram have been lit up with the “finalist faces” of scores of thrilled contenders, all vying for a trophy on Awards night on 19 September.
We asked companies and individuals to be their creative best and post their photos using #EGAwards17 for a chance to win a prize on awards night.
The industry rose to the occasion and many of the photos gave us a giggle. Here’s proof that property has a sense of humour.
Shocked? Surprised? Scared? We’re not sure, but we hope no flies found their way into the mouth of Tuffin Ferraby Taylor partner David Mann. The company is shortlisted in the Specialist Adviser of the Year category, sponsored by Market Financial Solutions.
In Derek Zoolander they trust. In moustachioed and bespectacled young professionals we trust. Good luck to Kontor, competing for the Offices Adviser trophy, sponsored by Buro Four.
Here’s Rising Star finalist Mark Reading of Mishcon de Reya, completely unaware he has been photobombed by a balloon. The Rising Star category is sponsored by Tuffin Ferraby Taylor.
Five photos. Five locations. And even a bull. Hammerson, shortlisted for Retail & Leisure Company, takes the Finalist Face challenge by the horns. This category is sponsored by Hartnell Taylor Cook.
Metro Bank, a Retail & Leisure Company finalist, offers up karate kicks and rock ’n’ roll hand gestures, with the company mascot getting in on the act.
Double the trouble or beside himself? It’s business rates guru Mark Rigby of CVS, a contender for the Specialist Adviser gong.
The Specialist Adviser finalists are really pulling out the stops. For Global Guardians, the shortlist announcement was music to their ears.
The Coffer Group are double contenders, for Retail & Leisure Adviser, sponsored by TH Real Estate, and Specialist Adviser. Here, they show us how you do jazz hands.
Finally, National Company of the Year contender Wrenbridge rounded up the office models for a picture series that played on the word ‘short’ to hilarious effect. The National Company category is sponsored by Savills.
EG wishes all the shortlisted candidates good luck. And we look forward to more of your finalist faces.
The EG Awards take place on 19 September at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel on Park Lane, W1K. It is real estate’s biggest night of the year, with the industry’s biggest decision makers in the room. To find out who is attending, and how you can be part of it, visit the website.
