The PyLadies community is made up of many remarkable members and volunteers that make significant contributions to bettering the Python community. The Outstanding PyLady award is meant to elevate diverse Pythonistas doing amazing things, highlighting their achievements, and thanking them for all the work they’ve contributed.

Nominations are accepted year-round, but December 31st is the cut-off date for recognition at PyCon US 2025. Recognition will take the form of an award certificate, plus one of the following:

  • Free registration and travel assistance (if needed) to PyCon US 2025 1, or
  • A cash award of $1000 USD 2.

Self nominations and multiple nominations are accepted (and encouraged!), as are nominations from outside the PyLadies community; just fill out this form per nominee. Winners will be notified by the Global Council.

Let us know about all the wonderful work that’s been done this year and get those nominations in!

To learn more about the process or see who’s previously received the award, checkout the PyLadies kit.
