The Global Women of Choice Awards 2025
Every year, we identify a select circle of elite women from across the globe. These women don’t just rise — they elevate others, break barriers, and shift paradigms. If this sounds like you or someone you know, this is your moment.
Nominations are extremely limited. And only a small number of honourees will be invited into this prestigious league.
How It Works
Nomination
Nominate yourself or an extraordinary woman by filling out this short form. It takes less than 10 minutes and requires just the essentials: achievements, background, and why she (or you) deserves to be honored.
Review
Your nomination will be carefully evaluated by our distinguished Awards Council (a select group of accomplished global leaders and industry experts committed to recognizing true excellence). Each nomination is judged on impact, influence, and innovation.
Acceptance
If selected, you’ll receive a personalized VIP invitation to join the 2026 Circle of Honorees. This is a lifetime elevation. Your invitation will include details on how to confirm your acceptance, unlock full honoree benefits, and take your place in a league of global changemakers.
Note
With limited spots and global reach, not every nomination will make it past the review.
Only the most outstanding will be chosen.
If you receive an invitation, it's because you truly stand out.
