At Mashable, we follow leaders and innovators in the digital space. As technology is dramatically reshaping the practice and profession of communications, we are looking to identify and recognize the women pushing the barriers and reshaping communications for the digital era.
These are women on the rise: Women who have accomplished a great deal, but whose work is far from finished.
We've teamed up with New York Women in Communications to bring you the first
annual WiCi Awards, created to recognize rising stars in communications and their career achievements.
The WiCi Awards will honor women to watch -- ambitious women who have made an impact through their careers and commanded the respect and admiration of their peers. Who would you nominate?
We are looking to recognize women within the communications industry that fit into each of these categories:
Advertising
Arts & Entertainment
Design
Editorial
Content Creation
Corporate Communications
Product Development
Public Relations
Social Strategy
Video
Make sure to submit your nominations by Friday, June 28.
The winners will be selected by a panel consisting of the very best of the industry, including past Matrix Award winners and New York Women in Communications leadership.
The WiCi Awards will be announced during an evening reception in New York City on Sept. 18. They will complement the Matrix Awards, which include honorees such as Sheryl Sandberg, Arianna Huffington, Meredith Vieira, Annie Leibovitz and Meryl Streep, among other female leaders.
