2026 in review

Year in
Review.

At the end of every year we choose the stories that changed the most lives. Six categories, open criteria — and not a single place that can be bought.

We publish the list of nominees in all six categories.

Readers vote in the Readers’ Choice category.

The editors verify the votes and numbers and exclude manipulation.

The winners appear in the year-end issue and on its cover.

2026 categories

Six categories.

Heroine of the Year

A story that makes you want to act. The editors choose one cover heroine of 2026 — for the strength of her decision and a result you can name.

Readers’ choice

Readers vote: one person, one vote, confirmed by email. The heroine with the most votes wins.

Article of the Year

The piece read and discussed the most: reads and comments over the year. The numbers are counted automatically — the editors only verify them.

Founder of the Year

A woman who built her business and told how it really was: with numbers, mistakes and decisions people usually keep quiet about.

Move of the Year

The relocation story of the year: a new country, a new language — and a life the heroine rebuilt without losing herself.

Second Act of the Year

The boldest turn of the year: a woman who started over — after 40, after divorce, after a crisis — and kept going.

Who takes part

Heroines 2026.

How we choose

Fair rules.

Who takes part

Cover heroines and magazine articles published from January 1 to December 1, 2026. No application needed — the editors nominate all heroines of the year.

Participation can’t be bought

Nomination and winning are free. We take no money from heroines or partners — just as a place in the magazine is not for sale.

You can decline

A heroine may decline the nomination at any time: just write to press@cliriumsmagazine.com.

Honest count

One person, one vote. Votes from disposable addresses and inflated votes are not counted. The editors’ decision is final.

What the winners receive

The “Clirium’s Magazine Year in Review 2026” badge for website and social media, a personal certificate, a place on the year-end cover and a feature in the December 21 issue. No cash prizes.

Every year

We sum up each year at its end: the archive of winners stays on this page.

Subscribe to the magazine: on December 1 we’ll send the list of nominees and a voting link. One email in early December and the final issue — no ads.
