The Canadian Women Entrepreneur Industry Awards Gala selected as a GOLD Anthem Award winner, earning global recognition for DEI impact
Toronto, Ont. – The Canadian Women Entrepreneur (CWE) Industry Awards Gala has been recognized at a global level for its purposeful and mission-driven work after winning a GOLD Anthem Award by the International Academy of Digital Arts & Sciences. In the most competitive Anthem Awards season yet, the CWE Industry Awards Gala won in the National Awareness Campaign category for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).
With Over 2,300 entries submitted from over 30 countries, SCA took home the GOLD among the Winners announced today like GLAAD, Planned Parenthood, Google, Jelly Roll, Becky G, Everytown for Gun Safety, Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez, The Obama Foundation, Gold House, World Central Kitchen, Burton Snowboards, and Dak Prescott with the Colorectal Cancer Alliance.
“I’m incredibly proud of everyone involved in the making of the CWE Industry Awards Gala and its micro-events. Our small agency brought together a powerful team of Canadian small businesses who worked incredibly hard to bring this vision to life, so to receive this award among celebrity finalists means the world,” said Anna Sinclair, Founder of Sinclair Creative Agency Inc.
This impressive accomplishment reflects the CWE’s dedication to creating inclusive and impactful event experiences that highlight brands who drive change and raise awareness for DEI and Belonging while making a tangible impact on women entrepreneurs from coast to coast.
By amplifying the voices that spark national change, the CWE Industry Awards Gala is defining a new benchmark for impactful work that inspires Canadian women founders to take action in their communities and businesses. The annual program includes a two-day signature event experience uniting hundreds of guests, including media, influencers, creators, entrepreneurs, and top executives from North America's leading brands. It serves as a platform to showcase impactful programs and initiatives that drive inclusiveness, corporate social responsibility and social capital in support of empowering women entrepreneurs across Canada.
The industry awards highlights top companies for their innovation and societal contributions through recognition powered by a panel of Google judges, recognizing unparalleled commitment through five categories: Gender Equality in the Workplace, Empowering Women in Business or Entrepreneurs, Community - Women’s Health and Well-Being, #Hypewomxn, and Creating Young Changemakers.
“Our passion has always been to creatively connect brands to the people they want to serve and impact in a meaningful way,” Sinclair explains. “I’m honoured to see the work we are doing providing access to social capital that uplifts women entrepreneurs across the country.”
What makes this initiative so beautiful is the diverse representation and fusion of arts, fashion, beauty, music and tech, bringing together visual performances by influential Canadians shaping the culture and history of the country, including Walk of Fame icons Jully Black, Kardinal Official and Dragonette.
Each year, the CWE Industry Awards Gala features a $50,000 Pitch competition live on stage where five founders present their business to more than 400 industry professionals in Canada’s Total Mom Pitch, presented by Intuit QuickBooks. Applications are now open.
“I saw a gap in immersive networking and noticed events of this calibre are usually too expensive and inaccessible for some working hard towards their dreams,” added Sinclair. “However, CWE is different. We decided to apply our event sponsorship dollars towards our initiative, to sit more women at the table at no cost — a vision as colourful and as vibrant as our mission of providing access to funding, mentorship, and opportunities for underrepresented founders.”
Earning an Anthem Award is one of many special recognitions the CWE Industry Awards Gala has acquired since its inception in 2022. The Gala was first featured in the Canadian Special Events Magazine 2023 Spring Issue next to the top events in the nation, for its creative brilliance. It then went on to win a Canadian Event Award in 2024 for Best Corporate Event in collaboration with The Concierge Club for its 2023 event.
The third annual CWE Industry Awards Gala is set to take place in Toronto on May 28, 2025, kicking off two days of impactful programming and micro-events.
