Rules

Please read these carefully.

Individuals or organizations may be nominated for more than one award. Africa Outstanding Women Awards will discard entries for multiple awards which broadly replicate other entries.

We reserve the right to move an entry to a different category from the category entered if the entry is better suited to that category.

In the event that there are too few qualified nominations in a particular category, Africa Outstanding Women Awards reserves the right not to select a winner in that category.

In the event that a third party nominates an individual, Africa Outstanding Women Awards will contact the nominated individual and ask the nominee to review the nomination for accuracy and, if necessary, provide any missing documentation.
