With just two more sleeps to go until the 2026 B&T Women in Media Awards, presented by Are Media, we want to take a moment to say a very big thank you to those who have helped make this year’s awards possible.
While the finalists and winners will rightly take centre stage on the night, the awards simply wouldn’t be possible without those who gave their time, expertise and consideration throughout this year’s judging process.
Taking place this Friday, 28 August, at Sydney’s White Bay Cruise Terminal, the Women in Media Awards will unite some of the biggest names from across Australia’s media, marketing and advertising industries for one very special night dedicated to celebrating the women shaping the sector.
There are just a handful of tickets remaining!
From reviewing entries and debating categories to carefully weighing up the achievements of an incredible field of nominees, our judges have had the incredibly important job of helping determine this year’s winners.
And, of course, we’ve got plenty planned for the night. Last week, we revealed that one of Australia’s biggest musical stars, Amy Shark, will take to the stage for a very special live performance.
Her performance will be one of the major highlights of an already packed evening, as the industry comes together to celebrate the incredible women who continue to shape its future.
There’ll be awards, entertainment, celebrations, surprises — and, most importantly, a room full of some of the best and brightest people in the business.
A huge thank you to all of our wonderful judges listed below:
