| 1. Community / Pro-bono 2. Creative 3. Digital 4. Entrepreneur 5. Journalist / Producer 6. Marketing 7. Media Agency |
8. Public Relations 9. Rising Star 10. Sales 11. Strategy 12. Technology 13. Mentor 14. Employer |
This year, the Awards will be held on Friday 19 August 2016 at Royal Randwick Racecourse in Sydney, featuring Gretel Killeen as MC and Tracey Spicer as keynote speaker.
There’s just over two weeks to go until entries for Women in Media close, with both peer and self-nominations accepted, previous winners welcome, and of course you can enter more than one category if you fit the criteria!
