Read this carefully, because we don’t play when it comes to rules.
To be eligible, the nominee must be a woman who owns a registered, fully operational business that’s been active and growing for at least 2 full years. No fresh launches. No hobby projects. No “technically it’s my boyfriend’s LLC” situations. It needs to be hers, on paper and in practice. Her business must be legally registered and located in Amarillo Texas or surrounding towns within 50 miles we’re serving.
You may not nominate yourself—this is someone else shining a light on her, not a DIY brag moment.
Nominations are accepted only through the official form. No DMs, no emails, no “Can I tell you in person real quick?”
If your nominee’s business is an MLM/network marketing company, still in idea phase, not structured legally, or an unregistered nonprofit—we love the hustle, but those do not qualify.
Both the nominator and nominee MUST be present at the event for nominee to be eligible to win. No ifs, no maybes, no acceptances on someone’s behalf. If you’re not in the room, you’re out. We are putting action behind it.
We are here to celebrate women who’ve faced serious adversity and turned it into real, tangible action: think recovery, single motherhood, incarceration, divorce, trauma, homelessness, loss, starting over from zero and building something strong.
These are not sympathy nominations—they’re about recognizing unstoppable resilience with receipts.
Finalists are selected by our committee. This isn’t a popularity contest—it’s intention over applause. Multiple winners may be chosen across categories, but nothing’s announced early. Winners are revealed live during the Gala. In short: this is a high-integrity, high-impact moment. Honor it. Show up ready!
