Now listen here. We knowwwwww the event is a little earlier this year, but don’t forget about entering!

We’d hate for you to try and enter in November and get a rude shock. A very rude shock, given that entries are closing next Wednesday.

We know. Yesterday was January. We are just as shocked as you are.

And entries are closing next Wednesday 11 April at 5pm. Make sure you jot that date down (and try not to procrastinate tooooo much).

Running for the third year, these awards recognise exceptional women who have achieved astronomic success in their professional arenas and celebrates their invaluable contribution through their leadership, innovation and courage to the travel industry.

If you think you could be one of these exceptional women (and you obviously are) head right here to enter either yourself or another industry champ. But if you don’t want to enter yourself, you can nominate a friend!

A quick tip: if you don’t enter, no one will know how great you are. And if you want to spread the love about how great your industry gal pals are, nominate one of your fabulous, hard working friends right here.
