About this category

This award recognises a woman whose farming, leadership, business or advocacy is making an outstanding contribution to UK agriculture. Judges look for achievement, influence and the example she sets for others.

Eligibility

Open to women working in any part of UK agriculture.

Judging criteria

  • Achievement
  • Influence and leadership
  • Advocacy
  • Support for others
  • Contribution to the industry

Qualitative criteria

An example that opens doors for others.

Metrics

  • Business results
  • Roles held
  • People supported and reach of advocacy

Additional criteria

Entries should include a short account of the farm or business, supporting figures such as yields, herd or flock performance, costs or margins where relevant, and, where possible, comments from customers, buyers, advisers or neighbours. Figures can be given as ranges or percentages and nothing in an entry is shared beyond the judging panel. Judges consider the size, type and location of the farm, so a small upland holding competes on equal terms with a large lowland estate.
