The search is on for South Africa’s most enterprising women with the entry call for the 2022 Santam Women of the Future Awards, presented in association with Fairlady and Truelove.
The competition aims to find the most impactful, resilient and inspiring female entrepreneurs in the country, whether it’s a new business or one that has been running for a while.
Now in its eighth year, the awards have become a well-known, prestigious accolade for women-owned businesses, not only contributing to the further success of the winning enterprises but also garnering them international recognition.
Entrepreneurs can enter one of three categories:. The Santam Woman of the Future title is awarded to an entrepreneur aged 30 or older whose business is more than 1 000 days old and who is well on her way to establishing an extensive enterprise.. The Santam Rising Star title is awarded to an entrepreneur between 16 and 30 years old who is still within her first 1 000 days, but whose business, the judges believe, will flourish way beyond them.. 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 or NPO has survived the first 1 000 days.
With more than R575 000 worth of prizes, winning one of the three awards will be a true game-changer for the eventual winners, who will also receive mentorship from the judge of their choice and a publicity boost from Fairlady and Truelove.
