The idea for the Award was conceived by Cinzia Sgambati-Colman, journalist, entrepreneur, mother and wife who has always tried to maintain a balance throughout all her roles.  

The Award is a recognition to these special women who, by assuming one or multiple of these roles, have managed to achieve something extra-ordinary that has marked their life and that of others.  

Applications can come from all over the world and are considered without any distinction of race or culture. A brief summary sheet highlights the relevant elements of the candidate's private and/or professional life and the motivation for her choice.
