The competition is open to all women, irrespective of race, colour or background.
"Women are made of a very special and unique substance. They are go-getters, courageous, bold, informed and successful. In a nutshell, women are indescribable, un-containable and an inspiration," Mathamelo said.
Entrants can enter for the entrepreneur, professional and corporate categories before June 15.
Semifinalists will be selected from each province and provincial winners will become national finalists.
