The everywoman awards were launched in 2003 to recognise and honour the UK’s successful female entrepreneurs and aim to celebrate both the success of the business venture and the personal achievements of the woman behind the business. They recognise those women who have developed unique and profitable businesses and who have often overcome adversity such as financial constraints, social or skills disadvantage through guts, passion and determination.

This year’s judges include Ruth Rogers of River Café fame; Cath Collins, founder of perfumier, Cath Collins Ltd; and Joy Nicholls, winner of the Queen’s award for enterprise 2005. The patron of the awards is Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild serial international entrepreneur.

Nominations for the Awards are invited from now until 29 August, and the short listed finalists are announced in October.

There are five Awards categories:

Artemis Award for the most inspirational woman under 25 years running a business. 2005 winner – Alice Shreeve of Belle and Bunty.

Demeter Award for the most inspirational woman between 26 and 35 years running a business. 2005 winner – Maxine Raphael of Maxine Raphael Specialist Transport.

Hera Award for the most inspirational woman over 50 years running a business. 2005 winner – Susan French of EA Bird & Sons Ltd.

NatWest everywoman Award is presented to one passionate and dedicated woman whom the judges feel has overcome significant challenges to achieve outstanding business success. 2005 winner - Elaine Fairfax of Animal Friends Insurance.

2005 winner, Elaine Fairfax, says, “For me to win this Award is truly a great honour and personal achievement. I know that it will help me take Animal Friends to greater things.”

New for 2006 is the 'Spirit of everywoman Award' that will be presented to a woman who has proactively worked to change the landscape for women in business in the UK.
