The Worldwide Audiovisual Women's Association (WAWA) was created at MIP CANCUN in 2016, and returns to its origins to celebrate the Woman of the Year for the first time in an event open to all participants at the industry’s leading audiovisual content and co-production market for the Latin America and the US Hispanic territory.
The event, named "Stronger Together", will take place on Wednesday November 15th in the Cancun Theater of the Moon Palace Hotel & Resort as a prelude to the market’s opening party.
The WAWA Woman of the Year is the association's most prestigious award and celebrates the most outstanding professional of the year, based on the values of Leadership, Ethics, Diversity, and Commitment to building and strengthening a more inclusive industry for everyone.
The selection of the winner of the WAWA Woman of the Year award began in May, with a first round of voting that selected the three nominees. Currently, until the end of July, all active members of the organization are voting for the winning candidate. The winner will be announced at the event on November 15th.
