Mergers & Acquisitions has announced a call for nominations for its 7th Annual M&A Mid-Market Awards. The awards honor the dealmakers and the deals that set the standard for transactions in the middle market.
Mergers & Acquisitions, a SourceMedia brand, is a leading resource for middle-market dealmakers, providing news, analysis and features through its daily website (TheMiddleMarket.com) and monthly magazine.

To be eligible for the awards, deals must: be valued at or below roughly $1 billion; involve a U.S.-based company as either buyer or seller; and have been completed by Dec. 31, 2013.
“2013 was a challenging year for deal-makers,” Mary Kathleen Flynn, Editor-in-Chief of Mergers & Acquisitions, said. “We’re looking to honor the companies and people who overcame the challenges, grew their businesses, and closed great deals against the odds.”
Nominations are due by Friday, Jan. 31, 2014 and are submitted via an online form that can be found here: http://www.themiddlemarket.com/mid-market-awards-nominations/
