20 Years of Madame Figaro Awards. Supported by Intercollege
20 years of honoring the best among equals. 20 years filled with glamour, emotion, and contribution.
The Madame Figaro Women of the Year Awards 2025, presented by Estée Lauder and supported by Intercollege, return on Tuesday, October 14, 2025, with a dazzling awards ceremony at the Nicosia Municipal Theatre.
The glamorous evening will be hosted by Zeta Makripoulia, the woman who first presented the institution back in 2005, and who now returns to celebrate with us 20 years of a powerful journey.
The legendary Anna Vissi will return to the Madame Figaro Women of the Year Awards for a special anniversary guest performance filled with emotion.
On stage will also be acclaimed international artist George Perris, accompanied by the Commandaria Orchestra under the direction of Maestro Dr. Francis Guy.
In the institution’s NEW TALENT section, dedicated to supporting the new musical generation of our country, this year the stage will be given to a young girl taking her first steps: the talented 17-year-old pianist Anna Avramidou, who has already stood out and received distinctions at an international level.
The institution is a tribute to the creativity and contribution of remarkable Cypriot women to society. Through their actions in business, science, and culture, these women emerge as positive role models.
Over the past 20 years, the Madame Figaro Awards have honored, highlighted, and rewarded Cypriot women who, with their dedication, innovation, ingenuity, talent, and multifaceted personalities, have left—and continue to leave—their unique mark in their respective fields. From 2005 to today, more than 924 women have been nominated, 182 awarded, 48 honored with distinctions, while €187,305 has been donated to charitable causes.
As every year, the event will have a philanthropic character, as proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to the foundation selected by the winner in the OPAP – Social Contribution category.

The Awards
As every year, Madame Figaro, with the support of a special committee formed exclusively for this purpose, has selected the five final nominees in each of the nine categories. Each one of them is a shining example for our society and a valuable role model for future generations.
Subsequently, the first among equals were chosen through the vote of the public. Specifically, 52,147 readers voted and selected the Women of the Year 2025 in the following categories: OPAP Social Contribution, Bank of Cyprus Innovation, Dove Athlete, ECOMMBX Professional/Entrepreneur, Answear Fashion & Jewellery Designer, Musician, Actress, Creator, and Scientist/Academic.
Three honorary distinctions will also be presented: for Lifetime Contribution, Life Achievement Award in memory of Antis Hadjikostis, and the Editor’s Choice, selected by the editorial team of Madame Figaro Cyprus.
The one and only judge throughout the process for selecting the Women of the Year in the nine categories is the public.
