DEADLINE: WiTWA Tech [+] Awards

Celebrating and recognising women and allies who work in tech roles and organisations or who are involved with education, advocacy and research in technology related fields.

The WiTWA Tech [+] Awards is a celebration of WA’s diverse Tech [+] talent. Since 2018, we have been shining a light on the stories of incredible local women in Tech [+] roles.When we first launched our awards in 2018, it was to celebrate our 20th anniversary.

We decided to celebrate the top 20 women in tech in Western Australia, with the top scoring nominee taking away a First Among Equals trophy. We also had a public vote for the People’s Choice Award.Over the years, we have added categories like Outstanding Regional Role Model (2019), Outstanding Youth Role Model (2019) and Outstanding Allyship (2020).In 2023, we will celebrate our 25th anniversary and could not be more excited to share this with our Award nominees, recipients and judges!

We have looked at the market, consulted with and listened to our community, and collaboratively designed our Award categories.

  WiTWA strives to build an inclusive and diverse community, reflecting the lived experiences of our members. We use the words women and men, but it is important to us that you know our definition of women includes all women. Likewise, our definition of men includes all men; cisgender, transgender or gender diverse, and we acknowledge and include those who identify beyond the binary.

Please note that candidates can only apply for ONE award category in total, so we recommend that you pick the one that showcases you and your achievements best. Please refer to the section on ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA in the Nominee Kit and Judging Guidelines for details.
