(Fargo, ND) -- YWCA Cass Clay is accepting nominations for Women of the Year. There are 13 different categories. 

"Communications and health, faith and community, all the way to Lifetime Achievement, and there's a business category for a business that inspires women in our community. So there are a whole lot of categories to nominate folks," said YWCA Chief Executive Officer Erin Prochnow.

Prochnow says this is the 50th year the YWCA has hosted the event. Nominations are being accepted now through February 20th. Prochnow says nominees must first be told they're being nominated, and says each nomination must also come with two letters of recommendation. The award ceremony is set to take place in April. 

"It's women behind the scenes working really hard, as you say, and people that you haven't heard of but are doing remarkable things right here in our community, to women you might recognize as well," said Prochnow.
