Nominations for the second annual Women’s Leadership Award under the Australia Awards scholarship program are now open.
The Australian High Commission (AHC) in a statement yesterday said the award is to recognise a female Australia Awards alumna for her outstanding contribution to development in the Solomon Islands.
AHC said this year, the successful awardee will receive a cash grant of AUD 5,000, intended to support her ongoing professional development.
The award is to celebrate women who have made significant contributions in their respective fields, demonstrating excellence, leadership, and dedication.
It also honours those who inspire positive change, break barriers, create opportunities for others, and serve as role models for future generations.
AHC said women leaders in Solomon Islands play a vital role in shaping communities and driving progress across many sectors.
“The Australia Awards Women’s Leadership Award highlights the impact of alumnae who are championing positive change. Their dedication and resilience contribute to a stronger, more inclusive society,” said AHC.
The statement noted that to be eligible for this award, nominees must be Australia Awards alumnae.
AHC said the nominations are open to anyone who wishes to recognise the contributions of an exceptional alumna and self-nominations are also welcomed.
Nomination as noted, will close on March 3, 2026 at 11: 59 pm and nominations can be submitted through the link; https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WLA26.
