GUIDANCE & CRITERIA

In 2017, Global Woman magazine launched its Global Woman Awards with a big goal to recognise the talented women who are giving a positive contribution to their society all around the world.

The Global Woman Awards recognises the achievements of women who represent different backgrounds, nationalities, cultures and ages. Our aim is to empower women locally and connect them globally. Women who are contributing for positive change in the world, women who build communities, and share their talents/skills to help other people, deserve to be recognised globally.

We are proud to announce that this year, Global Woman Awards are now open. We have built communities around the world in cities and countries such as: London & Birmingham – UK; Paris – France; Amsterdam – The Netherlands, Stockholm - Sweden, Frankfurt - Germany, Cyprus, Tirana – Albania; Kosovo; Manila – The Philippines; Johannesburg - South Africa; Zurich – Switzerland; Mongolia; New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles – USA.

The winners of the Global Woman Awards 2023 will be announced at the Gala Dinner in Central London on 17th July, with a trophy and certificate presentation.

Can I nominate more than one individual?

Yes, you can nominate as many individuals as you like. Please ensure your nomination meets the requirements for entry. You can find our award’s guidance and criteria HERE

Does it cost to nominate? Or is there a charge to nominate anyone?

Our awards are free to enter.

However, if you are selected as one of our shortlist, you will be invited to a prestigious ceremony, with which there is a ticket cost. You will be able to buy individual tickets and/or tables from the Global Woman website, once the shortlist is announced

I was nominated last year but I didn’t make the shortlist/winner’s event, can I enter again?

We would encourage all of previous entrants to re-enter for the awards. However, previous winners will not be recognised for a consecutive year.

What if I am nominated multiple times?

Those nominated a number of times are treated in the same way as a single entry. We will use the most comprehensive nomination received in the judging process. Those who receive multiple nominations do not have an advantage over those who only receive a single nomination.

I have been nominated and want to nominate someone else?

We absolutely encourage nominees pay it forward and nominate others.

Can I nominate myself?

Ye, you can nominate yourself, or be nominated by someone else.

Can I nominate a man for the awards?

Yes, last year we have opened a special category to recognise men who support the vision of women empowerment. You must specify that the man that you nominate is for The Global Man Award.

Can men nominate?

Absolutely! Throughout the process we will be encouraging men to nominate their partners, friends, colleagues or any woman who they think is deserving of an award in the selected category.

Can I nominate a woman who is not a member of Global Woman Club?

Yes, of course you can. The nominations are open for all women around the world, regardless of whether they are members or not.

Will my personal information be published on the site?

Only the selected finalists will have their picture and biography published. We may add nomination reasons given but these will be anonymous. We will contact the finalists in advance of publication.

What if I have made a mistake on my nomination form (e.g. wrong category, incorrect email address)?

If you have made a mistake on your nomination form, please contact us as soon as possible via london@globalwomanclub.com

AWARDS PROCESS

Global Woman Awards winners will be decided by 50% of the public vote and 50% the judges. (Profiles are published on the voting page)

VOTING CLOSED

Should there be more than one finalist with the same number of points, it will be decided either by the number of judges votes, and if still level, by the Global Woman team.

How does the public vote contribute to the final winners?

We appreciate some individuals have bigger networks than others. We encourage all nominees to use their social networks to call for votes should they be shortlisted. The vote count is a factor in the judging, however the amount of votes does not necessarily determine the winners of each category. The public vote for each category will be based on points according to the placing. If there are 10 finalists, first place will receive 10 points, 5th place 5 points and all others zero points. The same process will be applied with the judges.

The vote count alongside the judging are the only two factors in awarding for each category.

The judging panels will acknowledge five finalists out of each category. Among the 10 awards, one of them will be decided by the public vote only.

This allows the Global Woman awards to be of a balanced nature between public and judge’s decision and is neither a popularity contest nor an individual’s decision. (With the exception of a tied decision between the public and the judges, when it will go the head judge).

What happens if I’m shortlisted?

If you are shortlisted, you will receive an email from Global Woman detailing your achievements and what happens next.

Once shortlisted, you will be invited to attend the Virtual Global Woman Summit so you will be there when we announce the winners.

The winners will also be featured in the Global Woman Magazine

Global Woman Magzine

When and where is the award’s ceremony?

The Global Woman Awards 2022 will be held at the Millennium Gloucester Hotel, in Kensington, London, UK on 17th July. This will bring together more than 200 hundred people from around the world for Red Carpet pictures, a drinks reception, and Grand Gala Dinner, with the Awards Ceremony presentations for the winners.

Can we get feedback if we have been unsuccessful?

Unfortunately, due to the amount of nominations, we are unable to offer feedback for specific individuals.

Does being a finalist and a speaker at the Global Woman Summit give any advantage to the finalist?

Only in the sense that the speaker will have some more visibility in the promotion of the Global Woman Summit, however the public voting and the judges decision will have been made before the Summit and the awards has taken place. It is for you as the nominator and the finalist to generate publicity and visibility for any other activities.

Note: Should a nominee or finalist wish to be a speaker at the Global Woman Summit they can contact us at : info@globalwomanclub.com

How can I keep up to date?

If you have been nominated, you will receive emails from Global Woman throughout the process, detailing what’s happening next and whether you have been shortlisted or not.

You can also follow us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Linkedin for updates and more.

I have bought a ticket for Global Woman Summit & Awards 2023 and not able to attend on 15th & 16th July 2023. Can I transfer the ticket to someone else who can attend?

Trevor Clarke - Head of Operations

Global Woman helped me to see a whole new world in many ways, and I enjoyed travelling to new cities and countries and making time to see a little of each place.

I have edited Global Woman magazine, managed events, and a network of clubs globally, and edited some of the books published. It has been a fascinating experience and along the way, I gained a greater understanding of women in business and in networking, and many well known names on the “speaker circuit”.

This transformed in 2020 due to Covid from hotel venues and stages globally to webinars and Zoom presentations. The word so often used in 2020 was “pivot”.

Who knows what the future holds? What I do know is that agility is now an essential, not a desirable.

Kicki Pallin - Project Manager

I want to ensure that everyone feels welcomed, loved, safe and supported. One of my passions has always been to connect people.

I love to see people grow together and empower one another, that is truly what makes my heart sing.

I am grateful to have found Mirela, Global Woman and the platform that is doing exactly that.
