By joining our judging panel, you're doing something that matters: shining a light on the fire-starters, light-bringers and future-makers who deserve to be seen – and making sure they get the recognition they've earned.

Last year, over 500 nominations came in and eight extraordinary women took the stage at the FFinc Awards ceremony. This year, we're back with nine categories and a bigger stage. And the nominations start with you.

About The FFinc Awards

The FFinc Awards celebrate the fire-starters, light-bringers and future-makers building a better world for women and all. They exist to name the women driving change, honour the allies amplifying it, and make sure none of it goes unrecognised.

Winners are announced at The FFinc Awards ceremony on 16th October 2026 at the Corinthia Hotel, London – where you'll join us as our VIP guests.

NOMINATE

What we’re looking for

Across all categories, strong nominations share a few things. The nominee's impact should be demonstrable — not just claimed. There should be evidence of influence beyond their immediate circle: on their industry, their community, or the women around them. And the story should be one that deserves to be told out loud, not just noted quietly.

You're not looking for perfection. You're looking for people who've done something worth recognising.

A few things to keep in mind:

✦ Nominees must be based in the UK
✦ You can nominate one person or business per category
✦ A minimum of three nominations in total is required
✦ You won't be asked to vote in categories where you've made a nomination
✦ You can nominate someone from your own organisation, but please consider the spirit of fairness when doing so
✦ Nominations are free to submit and must include your name and contact details

The categories

For the woman who rewrote the rules rather than played by them. She pushed boundaries, showed up against the odds, and proved what's possible for every woman watching.
For the female founder who amplifies others with power and purpose, celebrating brilliance wherever she sees it.
For the male ally who has opened doors for women using his voice, privilege and influence – and held them wide.
For the woman who has pursued financial independence, business growth or the empowerment of others with exceptional confidence, resilience and ambition.

For the financial influencer empowering women with the money knowledge they need to build wealth, freedom and financial confidence.
For the organisation leading by example — embedding gender equity into its DNA and creating opportunities that move women forward at scale.
For the next-gen powerhouse shaking up the system and shaping the future with brave ambition.

Accept your nomination

The nomination window is open now and closes at midnight on 10th July.
