In the first week of opening for nominations, the She Inspires Awards have received more than 120 nominations including from as far afield as Australia.

The sixth annual Inspire Awards had to be staged virtually this year because of the pandemic, but preparations are underway to hold a reception for the winners when it is safe to do so.
