You may nominate yourself.
You may nominate as many women as you like.
There is a small fee of $24 per nomination.
Any woman currently serving as a CEO, founder, or top executive of a company is eligible. Nominees can come from any industry, company size, or geography. Self-nominations are accepted alongside peer nominations.
Submit a nomination through the form on this page. You’ll provide the nominee’s name, company, a brief summary of their leadership impact, and supporting links such as media coverage or company milestones.
Nominations are free. Finalists invited to the next round may have a [modest application fee] that supports judging and event production. Membership in WomenCEO is not required to be nominated.
Winners receive media spotlight placement across WomenCEO channels, introductions to investors and partners in our network, a featured profile on the platform, and recognition at the awards announcement event.
Nominations open [month] each year. Finalists are announced in [month] and winners are revealed in [month]. Specific dates for the current cycle appear at the top of this page.
Judges evaluate measurable business impact, leadership of teams and culture, contribution to advancing other women in their field, and the durability of results across multiple years rather than one breakout moment.
