We are pleased to announce that the nominations for the 2025 edition of CJ’s Top Women in Global Cinema are officially open. This year marks the ninth edition of this esteemed initiative, which celebrates the achievements of women in the cinema exhibition industry.

Exciting New Changes to the Nominations Process

Following a record-breaking number of nominations last year, we have refined our submission process to enhance the selection of honorees. To facilitate a more structured and effective nominations process, we are introducing clear criteria that nominees must meet.

Nomination Criteria

• Have a minimum of two years of experience in the cinema exhibition industry.
• Hold a management-level position within their organization.
• Demonstrate notable extracurricular activities, achievements, or initiatives that may not be directly linked to the exhibition industry.

Contributions Beyond Daily Duties

Nominees should clearly illustrate how they have positively impacted their businesses and the broader cinema exhibition industry. Updated career accomplishments from the last 12-18 months should accompany the nomination to ensure accurate evaluation by the selection committee.
