2022 marks 11 years of Seaside Magazine celebrating the success of women in business with our Women to Watch feature! We choose March because International Women’s Day is March 8, a day that we believe it is still important and necessary. We salute the women in our community who have passion and commitment to their careers. You inspire us and all the women who come behind you.
As well as running these profiles of successful women in our community, we’ve held a contest every year to highlight and celebrate the business success of one standout woman. It’s a favourite for the whole team as we invite applications, review and select, and then celebrate the winner at a special event. In 2020 we upped the ante by adding a live “pitch off” aspect to the contest. It was an amazing, empowering experience for all the entrepreneurs who participated, and for the panel who judged the event.
As soon as it is safe to do so we’ll be holding our contest again, and it will be open to everyone! This is advance notice to all the business owners, or aspiring entrepreneurs in our community: the “Pitch Off” will be back, looking for the very best, most passionate business ideas.
