Eligibility

The Award is only open to current members of Scottish Women in Business.

Entrants must be able to demonstrate how they have demonstrated each of the three values, Communication, Connection and Collaboration, to make a significant contribution to the wider social and/or business communities. Other criteria such as the professional status of the entrant or the financial performance of their business are not considered vital to support entry to this award.

You may nominate someone else for this award. If you do this, you must also be a member of Scottish Women in Business, and you need to obtain the entrant’s agreement.

Separate statements from up to three referees are required to support the entries. This allows entrants to call on different referees to support how they have fulfilled and demonstrated each of the three values. However, it is acceptable for the same referee to support the nomination in more than one section of the entry form.
