Empowering Women Entrepreneurs: Enter the Santam Women of the Future Awards
The 10th annual Santam Women of the Future Awards in association with FAIRLADY and TRUELOVE offers the perfect platform to showcase your business. We’re inviting you either to enter yourself or to nominate an outstanding woman entrepreneur you know.
Over the past decade, the Santam Women of the Future Awards has showcased the success, innovation and resilience of South African women who have dared to dream big. In celebration of a remarkable 10 years, we aim to be even more impactful as we continue to celebrate the brilliance of women in business. So, whether you recently started a new business, or you’ve been running your own enterprise for a while, we want to hear from you! We believe women who run their own businesses can change the economy – and the future – of our country.
Winning one of the three Santam Women of the Future Awards is a game-changer: the winners will benefit from cash prize money; mentorship from the judge of their choice; luxury products from Lancôme, our beauty partner; and many other fabulous prizes. On top of that, the winning business owners will get an enormous publicity boost from FAIRLADY and TRUELOVE.
Santam understands that the first 1 001 days of running a business are the hardest. If you’re still in business by day 1 001, they believe you’re in it for the long haul. Santam’s on-going committment to supporting women in business has given them real insight into the potential pitfalls of any entrepreneurial journey.

Let the expertise of Santam, and the networking contacts and publicity of FAIRLADY and TRUELOVE take you and your business to greater heights.
