The deadline for the everywoman in Technology Awards, has been extended. Inspirational women working in the technology sector now have until midnight on 27th October 2025 to submit their entries for the longest-running programme celebrating the tech industry’s most exceptional female talent.

Entries are open across multiple categories, recognising women at every stage of their careers, including those just starting out in apprenticeship roles and senior leaders driving innovation and transformation in global organisations.

The finalists act as powerful role models, showcasing the opportunities and rewards of a career in tech and encouraging more women to enter the sector. Increasing female representation remains vitally important, as female employees account for 24.8% of the total STEM workforce, and government figures suggest this has fallen from 29.4% in 2020.

By extending the deadline, everywoman is providing more women with the chance to showcase their achievements, inspire the next generation and play a part in shaping the future of technology. Entries are free to submit and are welcome from women working in a diverse range of tech roles in any sector.

Nicole Goodwin, Joint Managing Director of AllBright everywoman, comments: "These awards not only celebrate the individuals driving innovation today, but also highlight the vital role women will continue to play in shaping the future of the tech industry. By extending the deadline, we hope even more women will submit their nominations so they can be recognised for their remarkable achievements. Their stories will inspire the next generation and demonstrate the limitless possibilities of a career in STEM.”

The everywoman in Technology Award winners will be announced on 19th March 2026 at Westminster Park Plaza Hotel. To find out more about the awards or to nominate yourself or someone you know, visit https://www.everywoman.com/everywoman-in-technology-awards/
