brava awards 2021

We are excited to move this long-standing, "in-person" awards ceremony to a virtual event.   We have searched far and wide for the most innovative and inspiring business women in San Diego County.  Each of our six categories have been narrowed to a handful of finalists who will share their wisdom on our special panel interviews.

• Each panel discussion will be released as a series of "shows" throughout September and October.
• Following the airing of each panel, voting will be open to the general public for one week. You get to decide who wins in each category!
• After all six shows are released, voting will again open for ALL award categories between October 22-27, for those that missed the opportunity to vote in the first round.
• This will culminate in our LIVE Awards Show Finale on Thursday October 28, 2021 from 5-6pm PDT, where we'll announce the winners!
