2021 Women in Content Marketing Awards Nomination Form

Here’s what you’ll need to know to get started:

If You’re Nominating Yourself

Please submit a single nomination form, and indicate if you’d like to be considered for the WICMA Content Marketer of the Year, the Pivot Award, the Rising Star Award, or the Freelance Excellence Award (if you’re not sure, we may move your application to a different category after we read it). Review all of the nomination criteria carefully before filling out and sending in the form. Additional or duplicate entries will not be considered.

If You’re Nominating Others

You may nominate as many women in content marketing as you feel fit the criteria. Please fill out just one nomination form for each person that you’re entering, and indicate if you’d like for them to be considered for the WICMA Content Marketer of the Year, the Pivot Award, the Rising Star Award, or the Freelance Excellence Award (if you’re not sure, we may move the nomination form to a different category after we read it).

Review all of the nomination criteria carefully before filling out and sending in the form. Additional entries for the same nominee, by the same person, will not be considered. If a woman has been nominated by more than one person, both nomination forms will be reviewed — but she will still be considered a single nominee.
