The World Triathlon Women’s Committee is pleased to announce that nominations are now open for the 2025 Award of Excellence (AOE).

What is the Award of Excellence?
The World Triathlon Women’s Committee Award of Excellence (AOE) recognises individuals or organisations that have demonstrated outstanding commitment to advancing the participation, leadership, and visibility of women and girls across all levels of triathlon and para triathlon. Since 2012, this prestigious award has celebrated those who are creating real change, through leadership, innovation, advocacy, and impact, in the triathlon community. It’s a powerful opportunity to honour those making a lasting difference for women in our sport.

National Federations are invited to nominate an individual or organisation that has made a significant and meaningful contribution to advancing women’s involvement at all levels of triathlon and para triathlon. The AOE Selection Committee, including an external peer review panel, will assess each nominee’s relevant awards, honours, achievements in championing women in the sport, and the nominator’s endorsement.

This prestigious award celebrates leadership, creativity, and dedication to empowering women and girls in triathlon.
