With International Women’s Day fast approaching, it’s time to give a shout-out to the ladies in your life who make a difference.
After nearly 7 years of inspiring women through unique events, the Just Saying Project (JSP) has launched its inaugural JSP Women’s Award – and nominations close this Sunday.
“We have been wanting to make this event a reality for quite some time,” JSP Founder Fallon Drewett said.
“It is a chance to recognise the women who fly under the radar, that go about their work and projects often unnoticed.
“These awards are for every woman and their big and small wins. It is a way to showcase the role women play in our lives and a perfect way to celebrate International Women’s Day.”
Ms Drewett said these awards were different in that they are not so much about validation, but a celebration of women and their achievements.
“It is not always about the grand gestures or milestones,” she added.
“It is about the women who keep showing up for themselves and others every day.
“It is about celebrating the magic women bring to the world. Part of unlocking that magic for many women is giving them an opportunity or a platform to be who they are, to give them events and projects that build them up. And part of these awards, does that, it is about taking the time to recognise a woman in your life, that keeps doing small, beautiful things, that over time have created change. And that change might be in their life or across many lives.”
Ms Drewett said there would be a unique way to honour the category winners which will be revealed on the night.
The awards night will be held on March 5 at the Mackay Turf Club and will not just be an award ceremony, but a night for all women to attend, with their girlfriends, there will be canapes, live music, a chance to dance, frock up with a few JSP surprises.
Award categories are designed to champion women from an array of lifestyles, including the Magic Maker for recognition in the arts, the Trailblazer paving the way for women in male-dominated industries, the Resilient Rebel who has been through adversity but who continues to fight, a Health and Wellbeing Warrior, a Modern Muse and the Mother of all Mothers.
Nominations close 11.30pm Sunday, January 30, 2022.
Tickets go on sale February 1 and can be purchased via www.thejustsayingproject.com – which is also the website to submit your online nomination.
JSP is also seeking sponsorship or lucky door prizes for the event. Please contact Fallon Drewett via thejustsayingproject@gmail.com
