IT’S TIME TO SHOWCASE YOUR BUSINESS

We’re very excited to invite you to enter the eighth annual Santam Women of the Future Awards, in association with FAIRLADY and TRUELOVE. Or nominate an amazing woman entrepreneur you know!

We are looking for the most impactful, resilient, inspiring women entrepreneurs in South Africa. Whether you recently started a new business, or you’ve been running your own enterprise for a while, we want to hear from you! We believe in women, and we believe that women running their own businesses, in their 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 would you benefit from mentorship from the judge of your choice, as well as fabulous prizes for yourself and your business, but your business would also get an enormous publicity boost from FAIRLADY and TRUELOVE, and from the prestigious 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 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 the potential pitfalls on any entrepreneurial journey. For all that accumulated wisdom, visit santam.co.za – it’s an invaluable source of business insights.

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 aged between 16 and 30 who is still within her first 1 000 days but whose business, our judges believe, will flourish.

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.
