Fairlady wants to honour two phenomenal women - one 'Woman of the Future' and one 'Rising Star’ in the Woman of the Future 2017 Awards.
They’re looking for female entrepreneurs who have either made it beyond 1000 days in business and are 30 years or older or are between the ages of 16 and 30 whose startup is older than six months but still within the first 1000 days of operation.
Why 1000 days and two awards?
Because the first three years or 1001 days is a critical period where many ventures don’t make it and Suzy Brokensha, the editor of Fairlady, aims to award success as well as potential.
To support and reward the winners, the woman of the future winner will receive R50 000 cash, a mentorship session with one of the judges, a beauty hamper worth over R8000, a fashion voucher worth R5000, an online course worth R15000, a watch worth over R10000 and luggage valued at R5000. The rising star winner will get R20 000 cash, along with the other prizes mentioned above at different values.
The mentorship session with one of the judges sounds especially appealing when you look at the panel:
