Being in business can be lonely so it’s good to have a network of women to support you on the good days, the bad days, the days when you want to quit and on the days you want to celebrate, she said.

“No matter what stage of business you’re in, it’s important to have that in any community,” Ms Hardy said.

The event venue will be “bloody beautiful” in pink and gold with a red carpet, champagne, photo booth and food as well as gifts and door prizes.

Ms Hardy said guests would walk away with a “sugar high” following the event’s “desserts galore”.

Awards come with a prize from sponsors that support more local businesses and nominations close on December 1.

Ms Hardy said to “come in what you feel beautiful in” whether it be feathers and velvet or a summer dress.
