In our last edition, we announced that nominations for the awards were open until July 31. We are proud to announce that we have received over 300 nominations of stellar women in Bahrain across the 20 awards categories. Due to the popular demand of our followers, and avid readers of Woman This Month since its inception, this deadline has now been extended to August 25 to allow for more nominations. Where can we submit our nominations? Visit womanoftheyearawards.com to submit your nomination and explore the various award under the broad categories: Engineering and Technical, Business and Financial, Artistic and Creative, Lifestyle and Media, and Health, Social & Hospitality. Who is eligible to be nominated? Nominees must be current residents of Bahrain. Former residents who have made significant social welfare contributions in Bahrain are eligible for the philanthropy sub-category. Startups in the Women in Innovation subcategory must have a valid Bahraini Commercial Registration (CR) and have been operational for at least one year. Nominees must subscribe to Woman This Month’s free digital edition. What happens once a person has been nominated? Our Awards Review Committee, along with Russell Bedford Assure Audit, has begun its deliberation process, starting with the individual interviews of nominees to assess their eligibility. Once these nominees have been narrowed down, we will announce the top contestants for each category for the Woman of the Year 2024 following which you may then vote for the contestant you endorse. How will voting take place? Voting will be a combination of public votes and the Awards Review Committee (ARC) assessments. Each person will be limited to one vote to prevent multiple votes from the same source. How is this process fair and transparent? Russell Bedford Assure Audit keeps an eye on the outcomes and audits them to ensure transparency.

This month we explore the brand RIANNA+NINA which is thrilled to debut its newest collection KILIMI, a timeless series that draws upon the intricate beauty of Greek carpets. Inspired by the rich heritage of kilim weaving found in various regions of Greece, and Rianna’s own journeys through scores of the country’s museums, the KILIMI collection takes in the handcrafted beauty of this ancient form of pile-free weaving and reimagines it with a modern twist. RIANNA+NINA has always been known for its colourful universe. The women-led brand was created by two women with a love for vintage textiles treasure-hunted around the globe, a passion for craftsmanship, a deep belief in bringing true sustainable luxury to an extravagant clientele, and a desire to excite people with the extraordinary. It’s no wonder that it’s been featured in Emily in Paris, the Sex and the City reboot and Just Like That. The brand’s KILIMI collection debuts with embroidered cotton fabrics and luxurious silks, promising a tapestry of textures and hues to indulge the senses. Alongside these pieces are the introduction of a groundbreaking series of denim creations, a first for RIANNA + NINA. Throughout all of the manifold mesmerising designs of this collection, Rianna brings the spirit of her Greek heritage into the wardrobes of those who desire style beyond simple luxury. Throughout this collection, a diverse array of silhouettes are celebrated—from flowing designs such as the Kilimi Evening Overall Symi, effortlessly elegant and complemented by Gold Lamé accents with a matching, hand embellished, Swarovski crystal belt to accentuate the waistline; to the boxy silhouettes created by the Kilimi Clio Jacket designed of printed denim. The collection also features Evening Dresses, Beachwear, Scarves, Kaftans and more, all created of the finest Italian fabrics. It’s the perfect collection to have you looking fantastic this summer. in Focus We share the latest updates and answer some FAQs ahead of our December 2 event, including an extension of our nomination deadline due to popular demand.
