Nominate our best women
CAIRNS Regional Council is searching for the region’s most inspirational women, with nominations open for the 2025 Cairns International Women’s Day Awards.

With three categories consisting of woman of the year, young woman of the year and women’s recognition award, winners will be announced at a special event at Tanks Arts Centre on Saturday, March 8.
Cairns Mayor Amy Eden said the awards were an important opportunity to recognise women who had made a real difference to the lives of others.
“These awards are an opportunity to raise the profile of women, celebrate achievements and showcase successes,” she said.
“Across our region there are countless women who are making highly valuable contributions to our community.
“If you know a woman who has made a valuable contribution to the community, be that through sport, social and welfare contributions, or the arts, I strongly encourage you to nominate them for an award.”
