In 1,700 for Pandora

Women Like You, the second edition of the competition promoted by Pandora, received over 1,700 stories and projects with women as protagonists. Of these, nine were selected by the jury and therefore reached the final. The winners will be awarded on January 21 during the gala evening at the Palazzo delle Stelline: the protagonists of the event will be female entrepreneurship, inventiveness, audacity and strength of spirit, with the aim of supporting an authentic meritocracy. The final phase of the 2013 competition, which will take place at the Palazzo delle Stelline on January 21, 2014, includes an awards ceremony that will announce the three winners from among the nine finalists. This year the initiative has taken on a more technical approach, focusing more specifically on the entrepreneurial component of the stories presented, with the aim of rewarding women who are able to combine family, business, society and culture, and distinguishing the areas of participation into three different categories: best project for a new business, best social and/or cultural project and best project for an entrepreneurial, social or cultural initiative under 30. Pandora has planned an expansion of the final prize this year: from 10 thousand euros awarded last year, to 45 thousand for this edition. There will be three winners, one for each category, with 15 thousand euros each, destined for the development of the project presented.
