The Woman This Month team is proud to announce that over 300 nominations were received for the first Woman Of The Year Awards.
Following an exciting campaign starting in March 2024, we are happy to announce that the first-ever Woman Of The Year Awards has received over 300 nominations (of which 51 percent are Bahraini nationals) as of August 28. Nominations for the upcoming awards event, which will take place on December 2, are now officially closed.
As women, we often fail to recognise our own achievements. Hence, it was a joy for WTM to note that, as part of the nominations received, there were a significant number of self-nominations recorded across all five broad categories: Engineeering and Technical; Business and Financial; Artistic and Creative; Health, Hospitality, Education and Social; and Lifestyle and Media.
Previously, we had announced that the nomination period includes a vetting process carried out by the Awards Review Committee along with Russell Bedford Assure Audit. Starting in August, ARC interviewed nominees as part of the process and were thrilled to hear the stories of inspiring women from all walks of life. Several interviewees were delighted to learn that the awards will recognise the efforts of women in Bahrain who have contributed in every way. This is precisely what Woman This Month’s initiative stands for – Celebrating Excellence.
The nominees will be shortlisted and announced in the October 2024 edition of Woman This Month, which will be launched at an exclusive event held on September 30. Following the announcements, voting for each category will begin.
We would like to thank our readers, and past and present residents of Bahrain for actively submitting their nominations.
