There are less than two weeks left to enter or nominate an entrepreneur for the annual Santam Women of the Future Awards, in association with FAIRLADY and TRUELOVE.

These annual awards, now in their ninth year, recognise and celebrate the achievements of exceptional women in South Africa who are breaking barriers, driving change and shaping the future of their respective industries.

Santam is once again offering its valuable support by awarding the three winners a total of R220 000 in prize money. Santam understands that the first 1 000 days of running a business are the hardest – if you’re still in business by day 1 001, they believe you’re in it for the long haul.

Entrepreneurs can enter one of three categories:

  1. The Santam Woman of the Future title is awarded to an entrepreneur aged 30 or older whose business is more than 1 000 days old and who is well on her way to establishing an extensive enterprise.
  2. The Santam Rising Star title is awarded to an entrepreneur between 16 and 30 years old who is still within her first 1 000 days, but whose business, our judges believe, will flourish way beyond them.
  3. The Santam Social Entrepreneur title is awarded to an entrepreneur aged 30 or older who is making a real difference in her community. Her business/social enterprise/NPO has survived the first 1 000 days.

The prizes

  • R100 000 in cash to the Woman of the Future and R60 000 in cash each to the Rising Star and the Social Entrepreneur from Santam
  • A luxury beauty hamper worth R10 000 from our beauty partner, Lancôme
  • A full-page advertisement in FAIRLADY or TRUELOVE to promote the business, social enterprise or NPO
  • Invaluable mentorship with one of the judges
  • A ‘Strategies for Making and Taking New Markets’ course (worth R11 000) or a ‘Strategic Marketing’ course (worth R18 000), both from the Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS)
  • A Frederique Constant Vitalitywomen’s watch worth R15 495
  • Business printing worth R5 000 from Lithotech
  • A Stackd cabin case worth R4 899 from Samsonite
  • Three pairs of Baker sunglasses worth R5 397 in total from Execuspecs
  • A fashion and lifestyle voucher worth R3 000 from Superbalist

With your share of over R600 000 worth of prizes, winning one of the three Santam Women of the Future Awards is a true game-changer!
