Organisers of the Merseyside Women of the Year Awards (MWOTY) are now welcoming nominations for what will be the 15th year of the event in 2025.

And this milestone is being celebrated with the launch of a new podcast and affiliated conference. the Crispy Ear Podcast, recorded in the studios of Liverpool’s Big Condo Training Academy CIC, will be released in the spring.

It will feature guests from the awards’ extensive network discussing themes core to the MWOTY movement’s mission.

Founding director Ellie Kerr will also present a “new and inspiring” business conference in the spring, with a host of speaker panels and workshops exploring the essentials needed to allow anyone to improve approaches to business, while balancing the pressures of life.

She said: “This is always an exciting part of the MWOTY calendar, as we wait to be inspired by the amazing stories and achievements of women from across the region.

“However, this year is even more exciting as it marks 15 years since MWOTY became a completely women-led event.

“In the last two years we have really begun to realise the importance and impact of MWOTY and its alumni on the Liverpool city region. It is more than a moment in time at an awards ceremony, it is a movement.

“We are working hard to harness the power of our network and help it to impact more people through our new podcast and the business conference that I will be bringing to the city in April.
