Remarkable Women
A nationwide initiative to honor the influence that women have had on public policy, social progress, and the quality of life, celebrates local women that inspire, lead, and forge the way for other women.
Every year in March, Nexstar Media Group, Inc. celebrates Women’s History Month by highlighting Remarkable Women who have made a difference on public policy, social progress, and the quality of life in their communities.
The nationwide initiative includes participation across Nexstar’s more than 200 owned or partner stations in 116 U.S. markets, The CW Network, NewsNation, and The Hill. It has generated more than 46,000 nominations and showcased more than 2,200 women since its inception in 2020.
Nexstar has also further amplified the impact these changemakers create by donating more than $480,000 to the non-profits the Remarkable Women have chosen.
Timeline of Events
Nominations to become a Remarkable Woman are submitted by the public to one of Nexstar’s more than 200 television stations by late December.
Each station profiles their own local Remarkable Women on their newscasts and on their website every Tuesday in March. A market’s winner is selected based on universally selected criteria including community contributions, self-achievement, and family impact.
In April, a total of 125 local market finalists are selected, which include 11 local market finalists NewsNation chose from non-Nexstar markets, and get a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Los Angeles, CA.
The 2024 Remarkable Women winners from across the nation enjoyed a stay at the Loews Hollywood Hotel in Los Angeles, CA, a poolside reception catered by Wolfgang Puck, a tour of Hollywood, and a special “Remarkable Women” presentation at the historic TCL Chinese Theater. A major highlight was when our Remarkable Women were brought to The Jennifer Hudson Show set and the EGOT winner herself popped out and invited them to stay for a show taping. Watch the video here.
The award ceremony culminates in the selection of five regional finalists and a national “Remarkable Woman of the Year” winner. The regional finalists each receive a $5,000 donation to a charitable organization of their choosing. The Nexstar Charitable Foundation will contribute $25,000 to a non-profit the national “Remarkable Woman of the Year” selects.
