Female Fusion Extends Deadline For 2025 Awards Honouring UAE’s Leading Women Entrepreneurs

Good news entrepreneurs - Female Fusion has extended the deadline for the 2025 Female Fusion Awards to Friday, 5 December at 12pm (UAE time). 

The decision was made after many founders shared that year-end demands were making it difficult to complete strong submissions, and the judges also needed more time to review entries properly.

The Awards remain one of the few in the region that are entirely merit-based. Entries cannot be bought, and every submission is independently reviewed by a panel of senior entrepreneurs, investors, and industry leaders. The extension also gives Female Fusion time to finalise prize partnerships that offer real business value, including mentoring, tools, and services.

Awards cover 11 categories, including Entrepreneur of the Year, Small Business, Solopreneur, Impact & Sustainability, Tech & Innovation, Professional Services, Health & Wellness, and more. Entries are open to all UAE-based women entrepreneurs who have been in business for at least a year.

Updated key dates:

New entry deadline: 5 December 2025

Finalists announced: Week of 12 January 2026

Awards celebration: Early February 2026 in Dubai

Entries are open and can be submitted online via femalefusionnetwork.com/awards
