Women in business across the island have less than a month left to enter the 2026 Elevate You Awards.
The awards celebrate the Isle of Man’s most inspiring female leaders, entrepreneurs and solopreneurs.
Entries close at midnight on July 17, with four categories open this year: Solopreneur of the Year, Entrepreneur of the Year, Leader of the Year, and, new for 2026, Inspirational Woman of the Year, which is open to public nomination.
The awards were founded by local entrepreneur Louise Wheeler, of Douglas‑based LC Consultancy, following the success of last year’s inaugural event.
This year’s ceremony will take place on Thursday, September 17 at Woodbourne House.
Louise said she hopes to see even more women put forward: “The island is home to an amazing number of inspirational women leaders and female solopreneurs and entrepreneurs. This is our chance to ensure their work is recognised and truly celebrated.”
Women can enter themselves or be nominated by someone else. Those nominated will be asked to complete an entry form before the deadline.
