Each state and territory winner receives a $15,000 Westpac grant, professional development opportunities and Alumni network access.
The national winner and runner-up will secure additional grants of $20,000 and $15,000 respectively.
“Every year, we meet women who are challenging the status quo and finding new ways to strengthen their industries and communities,” AgriFutures Australia chief executive officer Belinda Allitt said.
The award welcomes applications from women across Australia, including those based on-farm, in regional areas or cities, provided their work delivers benefits to rural and regional Australia.
