If you know of someone who has made an outstanding contribution and demonstrated excellence in their field, has paved the way, and whose strides reflect the ethos of the Batons Awards, we welcome you to nominate them for a 2023 Baton Award. The Baton Awards celebrates women from diverse racial groups from the Past, Present, and Future by acknowledging Britain’s females from diverse racial groups’ pathfinders and inspiring future pioneers, across diverse sectors. Nominations can be made for yourself, a friend, an acquaintance, a colleague, an associate or a family member. You can nominate the same person for multiple award categories but must use a separate nomination form for each category.
