Please read the competition terms before entering.

Enter yourself, or nominate a woman who is part of your boating life.
Why does she love being on the water? What does she bring to your boating life? Share a memorable moment, or simply tell us why she deserves recognition. If you’re entering yourself, tell us your own story.

Entry limits: You may enter yourself once and nominate as many different women as you like. If you enter yourself more than once, only your first self entry is eligible. If you nominate the same woman more than once, only your first nomination of her is eligible.

How winners are chosen: Boating New Zealand will choose one winner for her story. A second winner will be drawn at random from the remaining valid entries. Each winner receives one First Breath Bundle.
