Territory women who play a role in the NT's rural industries, businesses and communities are encouraged to nominate for the 2025 NT AgriFutures Rural Women's Award.
The annual Award celebrates the leadership of women in the NT and Australia's rural communities and industries and provides a platform to inspire and support women in the rural sector.
As part of the award, a finalist is selected from each state and territory, with a national winner announced in late 2025.
Each finalist receives a $15,000 bursary for their project, business or program, as well as access to professional development opportunities and alumni networks with the national runner up awarded an additional $15,000 bursary and the overall national winner awarded an additional $20,000 bursary.
The AgriFutures Rural Women's Award has been running for 21 years with the 2024 National winner local Territorian Tanya Egerton.
As CEO of Circulanation, Tanya has spearheaded the Remote Opshop Project which supports the establishment of a network of community-owned and led opshops in remote First Nations communities, providing access to affordable essential items and small business training while generating independent funding that supports culturally focused projects.
The Rural Women's Award is proudly supported by the Northern Territory Government and coordinated in the Northern Territory by the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries.
Northern Territory applications close 12pm AEDT, Friday, 24 January 2025.
