As we approach International Women’s Month in March, WGN-TV wants to recognize the great contributions that women have made to our nation and local communities. Remarkable Women is part of a nationwide Nexstar Media initiative to honor the influence that women have had on public policy, social progress and the quality of life.

WGN-TV will celebrate local women that inspire, lead and forge the way for other women. It’s not just about one day or one month — it’s about what they do, day-in and day-out.

In March, we’ll highlight four local women who will be considered for Nexstar’s nationwide 2021 Woman of the Year Award.

(Entries are now closed for our 2021 Remarkable Women search.  Check back in March as we highlight outstanding women from our area.  Our four finalists will be eligible to be named our local Remarkable Woman of the Year – and then qualify to be named Nexstar Media Group’s national Woman of the Year.  Our Remarkable Women campaign coincides with March’s celebration of Women’s History Month.)
