Nominate her and remind her she matters.
This is where you can nominate yourself, or nominate a woman you believe deserves to be recognised. It is free to nominate and only takes around 1 minute.
Sometimes one nomination can become the moment a woman realises her work, courage, leadership, kindness or journey has not gone unnoticed. Your nomination may be the reminder she did not know she needed.
Before you start
- You only need the nominee’s name and email address.
- You can self nominate or nominate someone else.
- We respect your privacy and will not ask for your personal details.
- The nominee can decide later if she would like to officially enter the award.
You are doing something meaningful. By filling in this form, you are helping a woman feel seen, valued and remembered. Whether that woman is someone else or yourself, this is a beautiful step to be proud of.
If she chooses to enter, here is what comes next.
After the nomination is submitted, the nominee will receive information about the next step. There is no pressure to enter. She can choose if this opportunity feels right for her.
Official entry
If the nominee chooses to officially enter, she may select up to 3 award categories. Each category entry is $89.
Written submission
The written submission includes 5 questions. These questions may be different depending on the award category selected.
We strongly suggest writing the answers in a Word document first, then copying them into the form. This makes the process easier and helps avoid losing answers if the page refreshes.
Video submission
The video submission includes 3 questions. These video questions are the same for every award category.
The video will be shared publicly as part of the public voting process, so nominees should upload a video they are happy for others to see.
One of the video prompts is:
Please share your story and the journey that has shaped the woman you are today.
Example written questions
- How have you made a positive difference through your work, business, leadership, or contribution to others?
- What would this recognition mean to you, and why do you feel this award category reflects your journey?
Privacy and consent: By submitting an official entry later, nominees understand that their written and video submission may be used for judging, finalist promotion and public voting as part of the Celebrate Women Award process. Please read our Terms and Conditions .
Please do not leave her nomination until the last minute.
A nomination may feel like a small action, but it can become a meaningful moment for the woman receiving it. Give her enough time to receive the nomination, reflect on her story, and decide whether she would like to officially enter.
Final official entries close Tuesday 30 June 2026. The Celebrate Women Awards Gala Night will be held on Saturday 19 September 2026.
Here is how the journey unfolds.
Once a nomination is submitted, the process continues in a clear and supportive way — giving every woman the opportunity to step forward when she is ready.
1. Every story is reviewed with heart
We don’t just scan through entries. Every nomination and submission is read, reflected on, and honoured with the care it deserves.
2. Choose your category and submit your entry
Once nominated, the nominee can choose to officially enter the award.
- Select the category (or categories) that best reflect her story
- Complete a written submission
- Upload a video sharing her journey
Final entry deadline: Tuesday, 30 June 2026
You may enter up to 3 categories. Each category entry is $89.
3. Judging with integrity and care
All submissions are carefully reviewed based on:
- Strength of story
- Personal or professional impact
- Growth, resilience, and achievements
- Alignment with the selected category
80% of the score comes from our Judging Panel and 20% comes from Public Voting.
4. Finalists announced
Finalists will be selected and notified in early August 2026.
Each category will feature women whose stories reflect courage, growth, and impact. Finalists may also be featured in promotions and community highlights.
5. Public voting
Finalists will receive a voting link to share with their community.
This allows others to support, celebrate, and be part of the journey. The finalist with the most support will be recognised as the People’s Choice Winner.
Voting opens 14 July and closes 31 July 2026.
6. The Gala Awards Night
Winners will be announced live at the Celebrate Women Awards Gala Night.

Some moments are meant to be felt in the room.
The Celebrate Women Awards Night is more than watching names being announced. It is the energy of women being seen, families cheering, communities showing up, and stories being honoured in real time.
When you are in the room, you are not just attending an event. You are becoming part of the memory, the movement, and the moment someone realises her story truly matters.
We would love to see you there in person. Your presence helps create the atmosphere every finalist deserves — a room filled with support, pride, connection, and women celebrating women.
