DWIB Awards 2026 Launch

The countdown to the DWIB Awards 2026 officially begins… and you’re invited to be part of it.

Join us for a relaxed and inspiring Awards Launch Brunch as we open entries for the DWIB Awards 2026, our annual celebration of the incredible women, allies, and businesses making waves across Devon.

Set in the beautiful surroundings of Dartington Hall, this mid-morning event is your chance to:

• ✨ Be first to hear all about the 2026 Awards categories

• ✨ Meet our magnificent DWIB Awards sponsors

• ✨ Get insider tips on how to submit a strong entry

• ✨ Connect with fellow members, previous finalists and winners

• ✨ Enjoy delicious brunch and refreshments while you network

Whether you’re thinking of entering yourself, nominating someone else, sponsoring the awards, or simply soaking up the energy, this event is designed to inform, inspire, and encourage you to put yourself forward.

💖 All categories open for entries from launch day
💖 You do not need to have entered before (but previous entrants are welcome to apply again!)
💖 You absolutely do not need to feel “ready” (most winners didn’t!)

The DWIB Awards are about visibility, confidence, community, and celebrating success in all its forms, not just turnover and titles.

Come along, raise a glass (or a coffee cup), meet the faces behind the Awards, and take your first step towards the DWIB Awards 2026.

We cannot wait to welcome you.

💫 Previous DWIB Award Winners are invited to talk about their experiences and the impact that winning their awards had on them and their business.

💫 Platinum and Gold members and sponsors are invited to showcase their businesses by displaying banners, leaflets and other promotional material.
