The Young BPW Award acknowledges and recognises women under 35 for both achievements and potential in their chosen field.
Success does not necessarily mean she has reached the top of the tree, but that she is progressing well for her age.
The nominee should be a good all-rounder:
a woman who is achieving success in her business, her career or her chosen field of study and within the community, and
committed to raising the status of women (particularly through her connection with BPW, or other organisations).
Nominees will be considered in three divisions, reflecting the Professional and Business membership of BPW and the Community in which we live. Please indicate which of the three divisions the nominee represents in the nomination form.
Nominees who are still studying may be nominated in any of the divisions, based on the nominators reasons for nomination.
After the nomination is accepted, nominees will
submit an essay,
complete a panel interview and,
deliver a speech at the National Conference.
The final overall winner will be determined by the panel after all elements have been completed, at the BPW Australia National Conference, Darwin November 2023
Essay question:
Discuss how the example of Australian women changemakers has impacted your life, and work, and how you will pay this forward. Reference may be made to specific role models and mentors.
