Nominations for the Women Leaders' Awards will officially open at our launch event on February 27th. These prestigious awards celebrate the incredible women of Milton Keynes, giving you the chance to recognise and honour their achievements. We also wholeheartedly encourage self-nominations—after all, no one understands the challenges you’ve overcome, the battles you’ve fought, and the successes you’ve built better than you.
2025 Awards
The Women Leaders’ Awards 2025 will take place on June 12th at the Hilton DoubleTree Hotel at Stadium MK, with this year’s powerful theme: “Smashing Stereotypes.”
This glamorous gala dinner is your chance to dress to impress and celebrate the incredible achievements of women across Milton Keynes.
A total of 15 awards will be presented, 14 open for nominations, while the prestigious Outstanding Achievement Award will be selected by the judges. Spanning all sectors, these awards are designed to honor excellence, with a strong emphasis on recognizing women in STEM careers.
Expect an unforgettable evening filled with delicious food, lively dancing, and—most importantly—powerful stories from inspirational women who are breaking barriers and shaping the future of our city.
