These awards are more than just trophies—they are a platform to elevate women who are breaking barriers and lifting up their communities. Every single vote is a nod of appreciation for their hard work and dedication.
The search is on for Devon’s most brilliant women with nominations open for the 2026 West Country Women Awards.
With 24 categories reflecting the lives, achievements and contributions of women from all walks of life, the West Country Women Awards celebrate everyone from entrepreneurs and apprentices to artists, carers, campaigners, community champions, emergency service workers, educators, sportswomen and volunteers.
“These aren’t awards just about business,” says Alexis Bowater OBE, founder of the West Country Women Awards, “they are about everybody’s business. It’s about recognising the women who make our communities, workplaces, families and region stronger every single day and celebrating those who make that happen.”
Last year, more than 2,000 nominations were received from across the South West, shining a spotlight on remarkable women whose stories might otherwise go untold.
Whether she runs a company, coaches a football team, supports vulnerable people, inspires others, creates change or quietly makes a difference every day, now is the time to recognise her.
Nominations are free and open now.
