What's New & Different for 2024

Eligibility Timeframe

• Eligibility for the 2024 Stevie® Awards for Women in Business extends from July 1, 2022 through August 21, 2024, the last day that entries will be accepted.  Nominations should cite achievements during this eligibility window.  There is no eligibility timeframe for the Lifetime Achievement categories, however.

Entry Deadlines

• There are three entry deadlines, including an early-bird deadline by which the entry fees are discounted:
  • June 26: Early-bird entry deadline - entry fees discounted by $35
  • July 24: Entry deadline
  • August 21: Last day that late entries will be accepted with payment of $55 late fee

Entry Fees

• Entry fees have been raised by $10/entry, for categories in which entry fees are assessed - the first raise since 2022.

New Categories

• There are 11 new Sustainability categories, to recognize innovative achievements by individual women and women-led or -owned organizations in resource and environmental sustainability since the beginning of July 2022.

Higher Threshold for Automatic Award Qualification

• The minimum average score from the judges, for a nomination to automatically qualify as a Finalist, and thus a Stevie winner, has been raised from 7.50 out of a possible 10 to 8.00.
