The Celebrate Women Awards is about recognising everyday women doing extraordinary things — in life, business, family, and community.

Here’s how the nomination process works:

1. Anyone can nominate a woman they admire

Friends, family, colleagues or community members can submit a nomination. Self-nominations are also welcome.

2. Nominee is notified

The woman nominated will receive a personal message letting her know she’s been nominated. She will be invited to officially enter by selecting her category or categories.

3. Nominee confirms her entry

To complete the process, the nominee selects up to 3 award categories and pays the entry fee of $79 per category. She will then receive the official entry questions and video submission instructions.

4. Nominee submits her story

Written entry: 5 reflection questions (300–1000 words each).Video entry: 5–15 minute video answering 3 set questions. Final entries must be submitted by 4 August 2025.

5. Judging and celebration

All completed entries will be reviewed by our panel of judges. Finalists will be announced prior to the C.E.L.E.B.R.A.T.E. W.O.M.E.N. Gala Awards Night on 1 November 2025 at Hill Lodge Hotel Castle Hill.
