Nominations are now open!
She thwarts pleas for babycinos while entering a new client appointment on her smart phone; she secures the last Frozen dress in existence while fine-tuning her social media strategy; she plans play dates while navigating through ACRA and MOM jargon; she reverse parks, takes a hands-free customer call and placates kids in car seats crying out for snacks 10 minutes before dinner time simultaneously.
Who is this woman? Who is this amazing creature who manages mum-hood and a business all at once. Why, she’s a Mumpreneur! She needs a reward, a medal, an event in her honour (and an overdue leg wax, day off, and 2 extra hands while we’re at it). We can’t help with the latter, but as to the reward, well here it is: The Singapore Mumpreneur Awards 2014 are officially open for nominations!
If you are a Mum and a CEO (yes, they’re kinda the same thing), of your own budding sole-proprietorship, start-up or fully-fledged company, then sign yourself up for this marvelous initiative to celebrate women who are successful jugglers. If you do, you could be in the running for not only recognition, but some lucrative marketing opportunities… The winner of each category will receive prizes including advertising and advertorial exposure in leading mags.
The 5 categories you can enter are:
– Brand Positioning & Marketing Mumpreneur
– Financial Savvy Mumpreneur
– Most Internet-Savvy Mumpreneur
– PR-Savvy Mumpreneur
– Most Socially Responsible Mumpreneur
There’s no need to pay to enter, you’ve earned the right already! So back yourself, be proud, get ready to share your story and submit your online application now – you owe it to yourself and to the women around you (you would be shocked at how many of us want to hear and learn from you).
The nomination period ends on 1 August. The judges will deliberate from 5 August to 20 August (including our very own Founder, Chris Edwards, who will be judging the Most Internet-Savvy Mumpreneur category). The top 15 finalists will be announced on 23 August and then it’s open for voting by the public! Winners will be announced on 17 September. Then crack some bubbly and it’s time to party at the Awards event on 20 September.
Once you’ve come down from that high, each winner will be profiled right here on Honey Kids Asia. Good luck!
