The GirlBoss Awards are a nationwide search for trailblazing young Kiwi women (aged 11–18) who are defying stereotypes and creating change in their communities.

They are looking for inspiring young leaders, artists, activists, scientists, role models, and innovators.

There are eight award categories:

STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), Community, Innovation, Online Impact, Arts & Culture, Sustainability, Emerging leader and the overall Trailblazer award.

There is over $10,000 in cash prizes up for grabs.

If you know an inspiring young woman aged 11–18, nominate them for a GirlBoss Award (or they can nominate themselves)!

Nominate someone you know, and help us find the changemakehers of tomorrow at www.girlbossawards.co.nz. Nominations close on Friday 9 August!
