The Greek Herald expands Women’s Awards with new ‘Woman to Watch’ category

·

As International Women’s Day (IWD) approaches on March 8, The Greek Herald is once again set to honour exceptional women within Australia’s Hellenic community.

This year, the publication is expanding its recognition program with a brand-new category: the ‘Woman to Watch’ Award, celebrating young women under 25 who are emerging as leaders and changemakers.

The theme for IWD 2025, #MarchForward, underscores the power of progress and resilience, making it the perfect time to shine a spotlight on young women who are already making an impact.

Recognising the next generation of trailblazers:

The ‘Woman to Watch’ Award joins the prestigious Greek Herald Woman of the Year Award, which honours women over 25 for their leadership, innovation, and contributions to society. This new category specifically highlights rising stars who are making a difference in their communities.

“By recognising both established and emerging changemakers, we hope to inspire more women to #MarchForward and continue shaping a brighter future for all.”
