The Stevie Awards, organiser of premier business awards programmes, has issued a call for entries for the 2020 (17th annual) Stevie Awards for Women in Business. All female entrepreneurs, executives, employees, and the organisations they run, worldwide, are eligible to be nominated.
Honouring organisations of all types and sizes and the people behind them, the Stevies recognise outstanding performances in the workplace worldwide. The Stevie Awards for Women in Business honour the achievements of working women in more than 100 categories, including Entrepreneur of the Year, Executive of the Year, Mentor or Coach of the Year, Lifetime Achievement Award, Achievement in Equal Pay, Women Helping Women, Employee of the Year, Woman-Owned or -Run Company of the Year and Innovator of the Year.
New this year are COVID-19 response awards categories for individuals,
organisations, as well as for marketing and public relations (PR). These
categories do not have entry fees, but a US$55/entry late fee will
apply for entries submitted after August 19.
COVID-19 response categories include:
- Frontline Medical Hero of the Year
- Education Hero of the Year
- Delivery Hero of the Year
- Public Service Hero of the Year
- Most Exemplary Employer

The Marketing and PR Campaign of the Year categories have been greatly expanded for 2020. Startup of the Year categories do not have entry fees; neither do the categories for Government and Non-Profits.
