COSMO announce Women of the Year nominees

Cosmopolitan Australia has this morning announced the nominees for Cosmopolitan’s Women of the Year Awards 2018. 

In partnership with OGX, the awards will see COSMO readers vote for their favourite personality across across ten categories including sport, fashion design, beauty influencing and more. 

The voting process will be pushed via Cosmopolitan Australia’s social channels, regular EDM send outs and on-site banners; while finalists have already started to urge their own large social followings to have their say. 

From social activists like Constance Hall to brain cancer crusader Bec Lucas, to accessories designer Poppy Lissiman and 'Picnic at Hanging Rock's Madeleine Madden, this year's line-up of fierce nominees includes a bunch of the country's most inspiring, talented and determined women.
