CALL FOR ENTRIES: Nominate the most creative women in advertising

There are increasingly more women in creative director roles in the advertising industry, but women are still woefully under-represented in the top ranks.

Some 70% of young female creatives say they have never worked with a female creative director or executive creative director, according to a study from the Young Creative Council.

Each year we publish our rankings of the 30 most creative women in advertising to help celebrate the industry's leading female role models.

We are asking everyone in Adland for their help. We want to hear about the women who have created the most iconic campaigns in the last 12 months.

This includes everyone from copywriters, art directors, creative technologists, creative directors, CEOs - any female from the industry whose hard work has inspired, moved or entertained you this year.

Email your nominations to wheilpern@businessinsider.com by Friday February 26. All entries will be treated confidentially.

Here's what you need to include in your entry:

• Your nomination's name and job title.
• A brief description of their role and why should feature in this year's rankings.
• An example of a recent piece of work, with a corresponding link/photo/video.
• A high-quality head shot of your nomination.
• Also, please send the name of one woman who does not work at your agency or within your marketing team who is also creating some awesome work. This is a vital requirement: That way we can avoid self-serving nominations.
