Campaign Asia-Pacific’s Women Leading Change Awards, 2025 is now open for entries.
Running in its ninth year, the annual list celebrates the outstanding women who question, challenge, innovate, lead, inspire, and champion change in the marketing communications community.
The award is an avenue for Campaign’s own commitment to promote the advancement of diversity, inclusion, and equality in the industry by spotlighting the region’s business leaders, change makers, trailblazers and rising stars who are smashing bias and stereotypes.
We invite you to help us honour the women who, over the last 12 months, have shown outstanding leadership and fostered ground-breaking innovation in the media, advertising, PR, and marketing industries, as well as the future leaders of tomorrow.

General guidelines
How to enter: Click on this link and follow the process.
Who can enter: The Women Leading Change Awards is open to all women except Diversity & Inclusion Champion which is open to both men and women across all industries and sectors.
Nominees who have raised awareness demonstrated outstanding leadership, fostered groundbreaking innovation, driven change, and made an impact during the eligibility period are welcome to apply.
While we are looking for stand-out achievements at the workplace and beyond, what we are not necessarily looking for is women at the top of their game—rising stars who have a strong trajectory for future growth—we want to hear from you.
Important points to consider:
- You can flag confidential information by putting it in yellow. We ask that you only flag the specific information that must be kept confidential, rather than the whole entry or very large parts of it, since we will rely on this information to compile a profile of any nominee that makes the list.
- Campaign reserves the right to publish details of the entries that are not marked as confidential.
- Please do not include sensitive information in any video submission. Alternatively, you may send your request to the team explaining what confidential information cannot be disclosed instead of the whole video.
- Individuals can nominate themselves or be nominated by a co-worker/manager.
- Shortlists will be announced later in May and winners to be revealed on May 27.
- In case of any dispute, Campaign reserves the right to reject any work that it feels does not comply with the spirit of the awards.
Tips for a strong entry:
Layout: Use bullet points if it helps you lay out information clearly.
Evidence: Use Metrics and business results that the nominee has been responsible for driving.
Narrative: Paint a picture of who the nominee is, what their passions are, and thouroughly explain why they deserve to win in the chosen category.
