About The

Novi Awards

Our Mission

Breaking barriers. Celebrating achievement. Inspiring what’s possible.

Novi exists to recognise and celebrate the women who are breaking barriers, challenging expectations and creating meaningful change across every industry.

We believe that extraordinary talent exists everywhere — in every sector, every organisation and every stage of a career. But too often, remarkable women remain unseen, unheard or underestimated. The Novi Awards shine a light on those women.

From business and technology to healthcare, finance, creative industries, education, public service and beyond, Novi celebrates women who are making an impact, opening doors and paving the way for others to follow. But Novi is more than an awards programme.

It is a community built around connection, inspiration and opportunity. By bringing together women from different industries, backgrounds and experiences, we create a powerful network where ideas are shared, relationships are built and possibilities are expanded.

A woman working in one industry can be inspired by, supported by and connected to a woman changing another. Because breaking barriers rarely happens alone. Every nominee, finalist and winner becomes part of the Novi community — a collective of ambitious women and allies who believe in supporting the next generation of leaders.

Our mission is simple:
To celebrate women who break barriers today, while creating the connections and confidence that help others break through tomorrow.

The Novi Community

A community for women ready to break barriers.
Where ambitious professionals gain the strategic guidance, expert support, and powerful network to amplify their impact and influence.

Join a collective of women shaping the leadership, visibility, and opportunities they deserve.

I cannot tell you how much confidence and inspiration the Novi community given me to continue building Diamond Air into an incredible business. All the challenges and set backs I have faced suddenly seem worth it all!

Griselda Togobo, you have created something so special with the Novi Awards. A platform that inspires, supports, encourages and learns from each other. I was nominated by the most fabulous Dr Leigh Hoath in 2019 AND I won. It gave me the confidence to make some bold moves in my career, and I have not looked back. Thank you!
