San Diego Magazine’s Annual Celebrating Women Awards are back to honor one Pioneer and one Rising Star in 15 categories that represent the diverse span of industries that make up our beautiful city. Nominate the San Diego women you feel are paving the way, inspiring others, or just all around doing great things for our community. For further details on the categories and nominating, please see below.

A panel of San Diego Magazine judges will review all nominations. Nominations that adhere to the nomination form rules + criteria will move on to the next stage and be featured on our website for people’s choice voting, where the public will decide who will be awarded the Pioneer and Rising Star in each of the 15 categories. San Diego Magazine will additionally name one Pioneer of the Year and One Rising Star of the Year that we (the folks at the magazine) feel particularly shined.

San Diego Magazine will announce and honor both the people’s choice winners in each category and the overall Pioneer and Rising Star of the Year at the annual Celebrating Women Summit on November 6, 2024 at UCSD’s Park & Market downtown.
