The ELOY Awards governing body is excited to announce the release of the nominees for the Exquisite Ladies of the Year (ELOY) Awards 2021.

The list features 16 categories, with ladies who have largely impacted society through their commitment and leadership. Voting has officially begun and can be done on the ELOY website www.eloyawards.com . It closes Friday, November 19th 2021.

Exquisite Magazine has vetted the nominees based on the nominations by the public and the fulfilment of the ELOY Awards criteria.

The ELOY Awards celebrates and recognises women of excellence in different fields so as to inspire, motivate, support and educate other women to become the best versions of themselves. This also serves as a networking platform for women to grow and build their brands. The ELOY Conference will hold on the same day in the morning with keynote address by the Hon Commissioner for Women affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Hon. Cecilia Dada and Special Address by Owen Omogiafo, President / GCEO Transcorp PLC.

According to the founder of The ELOY Awards Foundation Tewa Onasanya, the focus of the ELOY Awards this year is to highlight the fact that when one woman wins, it inspires other women to win and increases the chances of other women winning.
