Applications are now open for the 6th annual Santam Women of the Future Awards in partnership with FAIRLADY and, for the first time this year, their sister title, TRUELOVE.

Winning one of the three SANTAM Women of the Future Awards is a gamechanger. Not only do you get mentorship form the judge of your choice, but your business also gets enormous publicity from FAIRLADY and TRUELOVE, and from the fabulous (and renowned!) award ceremony.
