Congratulations to the 2021 Women in Collision finalists (yes 2021 because we had to delay the awards because of the pandemic). The judging panel of the previous year's winners had a record number of nominations to mull over. They all said how difficult it was to choose and how many amazing women there are in this industry. In the end, after much deliberation, here are the 25 finalists. Two winners in each category will be announced at the Women in Collision seminar and awards in Sydney on Friday 25 February.
