In the spirit of Mother’s Day, but also as a move to reward all the awesome women out there, regardless of whether they are moms, NJ My Way presents the first annual Awesome Women Awards.

Everyone knows a woman who is awesome.

Fearless, tireless, inspirational. The woman who always goes the extra mile, no matter how exhausted she is, or how daunting the circumstance.

She’s an entrepreneur amazingly successful on her own, or an executive on the fast track to the corner office. Maybe creativity is her thing—a painter or a software engineer, an architect or a writer who pushes the limits of her imagination and makes us all take notice. Or she is driven to help others—a brilliant doctor, a courageous firefighter, a gentle humanitarian.

If you know an awesome woman who fits one of these descriptions, or just plain defies any description, jot down about 150 words about her, and send it to us, by using the “Write the Editor” link at the bottom of the page. We’ll choose four Awesome Women from your entries and match them up with some great gifts.

Dinner For Two at Le Petit Chateau (www.thelepetitchateau.com) in Bernardsville.

The food is awesome, (four stars, again and again from AAA) and so is our friend the very dashing Chef Scott (Great Scott) Cutaneo. Maybe you’ve seen him cooking on Fox & Friends.

A $100 gift card from a luxury spa to help get you buffed and gorgeous, at the spiffy Ocean Place Resort & Spa in Long Branch (www.oceanplaceresort.com).

A gift set of Night Scented Jasmine, and assorted amazing goodies, from Floris (www.florislondon.com) the trendy perfumery now open in the Garden State Plaza.

Value about $150.

A $100 gift card for Gito, in Millburn, (341 Millburn Ave.) the trendy designer shop where great service and fabulous fashion intersect.

Finally, we’d like to share their stories with all our readers, so your awesome choices should be prepared for a little publicity. A little free ink never hurts.
