GLAMOUR Magazine is gearing up to honor an every-day woman and support her charity with their “Woman of Your Year” search. From now until August 19, anyone can nominate an inspiring colleague, friend, or community leader at glamour.com/woty. GLAMOUR’s Woman of Your Year contest pays tribute to a real-life woman who uses her strength, agility, and compassion to incite major change in her community. GLAMOUR readers will help choose the winner by voting online.

The 2007 GLAMOUR Woman of Your Year will receive support for her cause and coverage in an upcoming issue of the magazine. She and the person who nominated her will win a trip for two to New York City for two nights, including tickets to the star-studded GLAMOUR Women of The Year gala at Lincoln Center on Monday, November 5, 2007.

For 17 years, GLAMOUR magazine has saluted gutsy, high-achieving women with our annual GLAMOUR Women of the Year Awards, a special issue and event devoted to celebrating the visionary, talented leaders who motivate and excite young women. Some well known past winners include Hillary Clinton, Billie Jean King, Madonna, Sandra Bullock, Katie Couric, Queen Latifah, Iman and many more.

GLAMOUR, the most award-winning women’s magazine, reaches one in every ten women in the U.S. or more than 14 million monthly readers nationally.
