CALLING ALL FEMALE ENTREPRENEURS IT’S YOUR TIME TO SHINE!

We’re very excited to invite you – or an amazing woman entrepreneur you know – to enter the seventh annual Santam Women of the Future Awards, in association with FAIRLADY and TRUELOVE

We are looking for the most impactful, resilient, inspiring women entrepreneurs in the country. If you recently started a new business or you’ve been running your own business for a while – or you know a woman who has – we want to hear from you!

There are fabulous prizes to be won, of course, but what we really want to do is celebrate and promote female entrepreneurs. We believe in women, and we believe that women running our own businesses, in our own ways, can change the economy – and the future of our country.

Winning one of the three Santam Women of the Future Awards is a game changer. Not only do you get mentorship from the judge of your choice, but your business also gets enormous publicity from

FAIRLADY and TRUELOVE, and from the fabulous award ceremony itself.

Santam understands that the first 1 000 days of running your own business are the hardest. If you’re still in business by day 1 001, they believe, then you’re in it for the long haul.

Santam’s many years of supporting women in business in South Africa have given them real insight into potential pitfalls on their entrepreneurial journey.

For all that accumulated wisdom, please go to www.santam.co.za – it’s a great resource!

With the expertise of Santam, and the networking, contacts and inspiration of FAIRLADY and TRUELOVE, we’ll take you and your business to greater heights!

WHAT IT TAKES

There are three categories:

1. The Santam Woman of the Future title is awarded to an entrepreneur aged 30 or older whose business is older than 1 000 days and who is well on her way to establishing an extensive enterprise.

2. The Santam Rising Star title is awarded to an entrepreneur between 16 and 30 years old who is still within her first 1 000 days but whose business, our judges believe, will flourish way beyond them.

3. The Santam Social Entrepreneur title is awarded to an entrepreneur aged 30 or older who is making a real difference in her community. Her business/social enterprise/NPO has survived the first 1 000 days.
