It’s time to give a shout-out to the ladies in your life who make a difference.

Off the back of a highly successful launch in 2022, the Just Saying Project (JSP) is calling for nominations for its JSP Women’s Awards – and nominations close this Sunday.

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.”

It’s not necessarily about grand gestures or milestones, these awards are curated to recognise the women who keep showing up, for themselves and others, every day.

Award categories are designed to champion women from an array of lifestyles.

The Resilient Rebel

A woman who has been through adversity and has spun her pain into something beautiful. This is a woman who is a rebel at heart and has decided to live her life differently, and march to the beat of her own drum. This award is for the woman in your life who has stood her ground and inspired others around her to be resilient; to learn from life’s challenges and keep moving forward.

The Visionary

A woman who leads by example and demonstrates exemplary leadership. This woman has made significant contributions to her work and community. She is not afraid to make waves; is respected and leads the way for inclusion and diversity in the Greater Whitsunday region. This woman is helping change the landscape for women across industry, career or business.  She is a change maker, respected in her fields, friendships and community. She is a mentor and is an advocate for women's rights.

Magic Maker

A woman who has a passion for and contributed to the arts, through performing, visual arts, fashion, photography, broadcasting and literary community. Their talent, whether emerging or well-known, is used to make an impact in the lives of others through their creativity. This woman has the ability to create magic and inspire others to be the best version of themselves through the power of art and the skill to make people rediscover hope.

Health And Wellbeing Warrior

A woman who has a purpose and a passion for health and wellbeing. A woman inspires through her work in health, medical or fitness careers. Perhaps they are a woman who leads by example through sport or advocacy work with mental health and/or charity.

The Modern Muse

In the era of social media, this is a woman who is a muse for other women. This woman inspires other women through her dedication to positive body image, fosters self-esteem in others, and encourages other women to be who they are. This woman is a truth teller, a woman who doesn’t need filters or reel highlights, someone who uses her voice for the greater good for women, their rights and creating a space for them to love who they are. Her voice and words are helping to create lasting change.

The Mother Of All Mothers

This category is to recognise a Mum in the Greater Whitsunday region, who is a formidable role model as a mother and a woman. A woman who volunteers her time, and gives back to her community. A woman who leads by example, who shows what it means to be a modern Mum. Maybe she is a mother who has worked hard despite adversity or hardship. A woman who might be a single mother, a foster or adoptive mother, a woman who is a female figure we can all learn from.

The Rising Star

This is for a young woman who is the face of #thefutureisfemale. A young woman who is making an impact in their community inspiring other young women and girls to follow their dreams, take action and stand up for what they believe in. This award is for a disrupter, performer, athlete, volunteer or trailblazer. This award is for young women aged 15 to 25 years old.
