NOMINATIONS for the 2024 Kingston Women of the Year awards are now open. Awards in four categories will be handed out at an event on 7 March next year: courageous commitment, excelling in arts or sport, inspiring innovation, and success in STEM.
Kingston mayor Jenna Davey-Burns has encouraged people to nominate outstanding women from the community. “Representation really matters. That is why we host these awards. We shine a light on the ways women in differing roles, from all backgrounds and with a myriad of talents and passions, contribute so positively to our communities,” she said. “I’m really looking forward to hearing more about the inspiring women we have in our city.”
The award ceremony will be held as part of Kingston Council’s International Women’s Day event on Friday, 7 March, 2025. To nominate someone visit kingston.vic.gov.au/community/awards/women-of-the-year.
