With two judges per category, their collective scores determine the champions of the 2025 Leaders Awards, ensuring every story is celebrated and every voice heard.

Who will be our newest judges?…

We believe everyone has a unique story that deserves recognition, which is why all entrants receive a certificate, while winners will have their inspiring journeys shared nationwide.

“Be proud, of who you are”

Entries and nominations close on 3 February at 10am. It’s free for all, with each participant receiving a personalised digital certificate. Finalists are then invited to our exclusive, free award ceremony and winners’ stories and voices are shared for all to see.
