context_page_description: The New Zealand Women of Influence Awards are an annual set of awards which recognise women who make a difference to everyday New Zealanders' lives. The Awards were first made in 2013 and were initially sponsored by Westpac Bank. In 2016, Stuff NZ became a joint sponsor.
  The Awards were initially presented in five categories. As of 2019, they are made in ten categories: Board and Management, Business Enterprise, Science, Health and Innovation, Young Leader, Arts and Culture, Public Policy, Community and Not-for-profit, Diversity, Global and Rural. A Local and Regional Award was also made in 2013 and 2014. In addition, there is a Supreme Award. In 2016 a Lifetime Achievement Award was introduced.
  Nominations are invited from the public, and a selection panel makes the final decisions on award recipients.
