Nominations are sought from women who are involved in work of a voluntary, community, business or professional nature, and who also display vision and initiative.

She is also actively engaged with the local community in either a voluntary, community, business or professional capacity and is a resident of the Coffs Coast.

The Coffs Coast International Woman of the Year will receive $1,000 (partly sponsored by Coffs Harbour City Council) and the runner up will receive $500 (sponsored by One Agency Coffs Harbour) and both will receive an inscribed trophy and publicity for the themselves and their cause, to allow both awardees to advance their objectives.

All finalists are recognised and acknowledged for their own achievements.
