The number one goal of The Entreprenista 100 Awards is to provide a platform for highlighting and celebrating the outstanding accomplishments of women business owners. There are numerous resources that go into the execution of a high caliber awards program, which necessitates the establishment of a small application fee.

The application fee goes directly back into the program to help cover the costs associated with the review, selection, and promotion of the winners, essential technology, and needed assets to ensure the program’s widespread visibility and impact, and more. Additionally, the application fee helps to safeguard the program against fraudulent, spam, and duplicate submissions.

We have taken measures to keep the application fees as low as possible in order to make The Entreprenista 100 Awards accessible to as many women founders as we can, while still being able to run the program effectively.

Outside of The Entreprenista 100 Awards, The Entreprenista League regularly shares complimentary tips, resources, and opportunities for exposure and visibility through our public channels, such as our Instagram account and free, weekly newsletter, “The Entreprenista Agenda”.

Only one application per business will be accepted (i.e. co-founders cannot submit multiple entries for the same business. If you have multiple co-founders, please include them all on one application).

Early entry application period runs through Sunday, February 23rd. 

The final application extension deadline is Wednesday, March 19, 2025 by 11:59 PM EST.

The winners of the Entreprenista 100 Awards will be announced in early May 2025.

There will not be a physical award ceremony, but there will be a virtual long-form ceremony to recognize and honor the winners. The date of this event will be shared soon!
