Santam, Fairlady and Truelove are looking for the most impactful, resilient and inspiring female entrepreneurs in the country. Whether you’ve just started a new business or have been running your own business for a while, we want to hear from you!
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. The awards are an opportunity to recognise and celebrate the most incredible female entrepreneurs in South Africa.
The competition highlights the ability of women running their own businesses, in their own ways, which can change the economy – and the future – of the country.
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, our 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 / NPO has survived the first 1 000 days.
Prizes to over the value of R575 000 are up for grabs with the Woman of the Future taking home R100 000 in cash and Rising Star and the Social Entrepreneur will each walk away with R60 000 in cash from Santam
