The awards are completely free to enter and involve submitting an online entry form, along with some supporting information.
Anyone with any connection to social housing – including tenants as well as professionals – can be nominated, whatever their level of seniority or experience. We want to celebrate leaders, innovators and change makers across our sector.
We are seeking women who:
- Have had a demonstrable impact within their organisation or area, and potentially beyond
- Excel in their roles but have also gone above and beyond to make a difference
- Have showed a real commitment to working with others to achieve collective success, including potentially helping others into the sector and/or advancing within it
All entries can be submitted online.
You do not have to complete your entry in one sitting. Partially complete entries can be saved for later and edited until the entry deadline.
You can submit an entry for as many categories as you like! If you believe that your nominee has achieved results that align with more than one category, increase your chances of being shortlisted and enter for numerous.
No, the system will not allow you to submit entries which have exceeded the wordcount.
