2026 Nominations are now open!

Following last year’s Women in Defence UK 10th Anniversary Awards; an incredibly successful year with over 550 nominations, we’re once again recognising the brilliant individuals and teams making a real impact across defence. This is your opportunity to nominate the outstanding people working in defence of the UK and their own countries.

The WiD awards are an amazing opportunity to recognise the hard work and perseverance that goes into making the cultural and policy changes that are still so needed in Defence. Change wouldn’t happen without passionate, dedicated and inspirational Women.
