The Women in Digital Awards were founded in 2018 based on the idea ‘you can’t be what you can’t see.’
We believe that unless we have more visible role models in digital and technology we won’t change the status quo. By shining a light on industry leaders, we shine a light on the career pathways and possibilities that digital and technology provides to women.
In 2023 we have 15 award categories in which you can nominate an outstanding woman (or team), or be proud about your own achievements and nominate yourself for one (or two) of the categories below.
