The 2022 Women in Content Marketing Awards Nomination period has closed. Stay tuned for our finalists and winners!

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

2022 WICMA Award Categories

• Content Marketer of the Year Award This award recognizes exceptional content marketing contributions made by the nominee. This can include work she has developed for a brand or organization, ways in which the nominee has used her voice to inspire and lead others in the industry, or examples of how she has risen above adversity. The nominee has five or more years of experience in content marketing. This year the WICMAs will recognize outstanding content marketers at smaller to mid-sized brands (under 500 employees) as well as larger brands (500 employees or more)
• Marketing Leader of the Year Award This award recognizes an executive-level woman who has made content marketing a priority at her brand or organization.
• Pivot Award This award recognizes a nominee who has made a shift from a different career field into content marketing — and is already forging a path to greatness. She has fewer than five years of experience in content marketing.
• Rising Star Award This award recognizes an up-and-coming content marketer who has demonstrated exceptional work/talent. She has fewer than five years of experience in content marketing.
• Freelance Excellence Award This award recognizes a freelance content marketer (writer, designer, strategist, etc) who has created outstanding work for a campaign on behalf of a brand or organization.

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 Marketing Leader of the Year Award, the Pivot Award, the Rising Star Award, or the Freelance Excellence Award (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 Award, the Marketing Leader of the Year Award, the Pivot Award, the Rising Star Award, or the Freelance Excellence Award (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 be considered a single nominee.
