Markets Media Group is pleased to present the 2021 Markets Choice Awards, to be held on Thursday, April 22, 2021. 

[Nominations are now open](https://www.marketsmedia.com/2021-markets-choice-awards/), so we ask readers to kindly have a look and tell us who we should be looking at. Colleagues, clients, competitors -- whoever you know who is making their mark in the business of capital markets, we want to hear about them!

From its inception in 2013, the Markets Choice Awards recognize the best of the best in capital markets trading and technology. From buy-side trading desks to sell-side banks, from global exchange groups to emerging fintechs, from incumbent technology providers to the entrepreneurs who seek to disrupt the status quo -- the MCAs span the whole market ecosystem.   

As per usual, last year’s Markets Choice Award winners were a distinguished group, including **State Street Global Advisors** for **Best Buy-Side Equities Trading Desk**; J**anus Henderson** for **Best Global Trading Desk**; **Bob Santella of IPC** for **CEO of the Year**; **Brad Levy** for the **Neil DeSena Market Advocate Award**; and **Thomas Peterffy** for the **Instinet Positive Change Jerome Pustilnik Visionary Award**. 

The 2021 program will include many familiar categories, such as Rising Star, Best New Product, Best Buy-Side EMS, and Best Global Exchange Group, as well as some new twists, which we will announce as we move forward.   

Please [nominate](https://www.marketsmedia.com/2021-markets-choice-awards/) today! And stay tuned for further information.
