Nominations are now open for the Women in ICT Awards in 2023, setting the industry benchmark for female excellence as gender diversity and inclusion (D&I) takes centre stage in Southeast Asia.

Channel Asia has celebrated gender D&I and recognised female excellence across the ASEAN channel since first launching WIICTA in 2019, providing a platform to showcase influential figures across the local industry.

In 2023, WIICTA will honour the channel across eight categories, spanning Innovation, Technical, Entrepreneur, Graduate, Rising Star, Shining Star, Achievement and D&I Champion (Company and Individual) awards.

Nominations can be submitted by an individual, an employee, employer or business partner. Note only ASEAN-based individuals are eligible, with finalists and winners selected by an executive judging panel of business leaders from partner, vendor and distributor organisations.

Eligible markets in ASEAN include Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam, Brunei, Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar, in addition to Hong Kong.

Submissions will close on Friday 17 March.

From early-stage graduates to experienced industry leaders — and everyone in-between — WIICTA recognises inspiring examples of female creativity and ingenuity in equal measure, spanning all job functions and disciplines across all states and territories. 

This is in addition to pioneering organisations and individuals who have gone beyond surface-level commitments through the introduction of policies and programs to meet D&I goals.

At an industry-defining celebration held at Shangri-La Singapore in 2022, a total of 136 finalists (124 individuals and 12 companies) were honoured from a pool of over 200 nominations, spanning partner, start-up, vendor and distributor businesses.

This culminated in more than 250 attendees — the largest ever in-person audience for the market’s leading gender diversity and inclusion (D&I) awards program — coming together under the Channel Asia roof to set the industry benchmark for female achievement and accomplishment.

Since launching four years ago, the collective aim of WIICTA remains unchanged – to ensure as many outstanding women are endorsed through this unique awards program as possible, aligned to the unified goal of providing a platform upon which aspiring female talent can shine across ASEAN.

Set for Friday 12 May, the winners will be announced at an in-person celebration lunch in the heart of Singapore’s city centre.
