A rural women's business competition opened for entries yesterday.
The 2015 Enterprising Rural Women Awards (ERWA) are accepting entries online at www.ruralwomen.org.nz
They are open to women who own and operate a small business with less than 10 fulltime equivalent staff, based in a rural area.
Categories are land-based, service, manufacturing or creativity, and tourism or hospitality.
Last year's supreme winners, Keri Johnston and Haidee McCabe from Irricon Resource Solutions, are sponsoring the awards along with NZ Post.
