"Now in its 54th year, the award is the longest-running international accolade of its kind, inspired by Madame Clicquot, one of the world's first female entrepreneurs. In 1805, aged just 27, she took over her husband's champagne house at a time when women were excluded from most professions, transforming it into one of the world's most iconic brands. That legacy continues to shape the Bold Woman Award, which honours women who, like Madame Clicquot, "reinvent tradition, dare to innovate, champion female leadership and uphold the highest ethical standards"."
"The 2026 awards include two categories: * The Bold Woman Award, open to women who have held senior leadership roles for more than three years across private, charitable and not-for-profit organisations. * The Bold Future Award, which celebrates female founders leading businesses established fewer than five years ago. Nominees in both categories must demonstrate clear evidence of positive social, ethical or environmental impact alongside their business achievements."
Veuve Clicquot has opened nominations for the 2026 Bold Woman Award, the 54th iteration of the prize. The award honors women who reinvent tradition, innovate, champion female leadership and uphold high ethical standards. Two categories recognize established senior leaders and early-stage founders. Nominees must show positive social, ethical or environmental impact alongside business achievements. Recent winners include Dame Julia Hoggett and Insiya Jafferjee, while past laureates include Sarah Gilbert and Anne Pitcher. The award draws inspiration from Madame Clicquot, who transformed her husband's champagne house into an iconic global brand in the early 19th century.
