Your work
deserves to
be seen

We do not judge on follower count. We judge on impact, authenticity, and the courage it takes to keep showing up. If your content has moved, informed, or connected people — this award is for you.

Cover Feature
Winners receive a Cover Feature in DWC Magazine — print and digital, reaching a global audience.
Trophy, Prize & Billboard
A physical trophy, a technology prize from a leading global brand — and your face on a Times Square billboard. Every finalist and winner gets one.
Official Badge
Winner and finalist badges for use across your platforms, website, and social channels — for life.
Global Recognition
Your story, your work, your name — in front of a readership that spans every continent. Recognition that travels as far as your content does.

Eight
categories.
One voice.

Enter as many categories as apply to your work. Each entry is assessed independently. You do not need a large audience — we look for depth, consistency, and genuine impact.

Tell us about
your work

Before you begin

Please pay your entry fee first, then complete this form using the same email address. This is how we match your submission to your payment. Each category requires a separate payment and form submission.

About You Section 1 of 5

Use the same email you paid with — this is how we match your entry

Your Entry Section 2 of 5

Your podcast, website, social profile, Amazon page — wherever your work lives

Your Work Section 3 of 5

Be specific. Not just "I run a podcast" — tell us the format, the topics, and the kind of woman who listens, reads, or watches. What do you want her to walk away feeling or knowing?

200 words max

Share the link if you can. Tell us why you chose this one — what made it land differently? Did someone message you about it? Did it change something for your audience?

250 words max

We are not looking for follower numbers. We are looking for evidence of impact. A message from a reader. A story someone told you. A shift you noticed in your community. Share something real.

200 words max

Content creation is hard. Tell us how you keep going — your process, your rhythm, your reasons. This tells us as much about your work as the work itself.

200 words max
Supporting Evidence Section 4 of 5

No verification required — this is for context only, not scoring

One more link — an episode, article, video, or chapter

If yes, paste the link — we welcome it as supporting evidence

Copy and paste something real. A DM, an email, a comment. Unedited is fine — we want to see what your work means to people.
