| Our Women, Our State awards now open |
Minister for Women Karen Struthers announced nominations are now open for the Our Women, Our State awards.
"These awards, in our 150th year, salute women and girls who support and encourage other like-minded women to take up education, training and jobs in traditionally male-dominated industries" Minister Struthers said.
"Queensland women continue to be under represented in the science, engineering and technology industries. We want to change that, and we need to continue our efforts to break down the barriers to women's participation in these fields" said Ms Struthers.
The categories include secondary, undergraduate and post graduate student awards, an industry and business award and a community and public sector award.
"The awards will also include a special award - the Great Queensland Woman Award - in celebration of Queensland's 150th birthday (Q150), recognising and rewarding the efforts of one outstanding Australian woman in achieving progress for all Queensland women" she said.
Nominations are now opena dn will close Friday, 11 September 2009.
