PokerOrg is teaming up with PokerStars to send one extraordinary woman to London, UK, with a package to play in the PokerStars Women’s Summer Festival Main Event this August.
How will we know that they’re an ‘extraordinary woman’? That’s where you come in!
We’re asking you to think about the women in your life, those that inspire you and others around them, and to nominate them for this incredible, unforgettable trip that includes:
- Return economy flights to London, UK
- 6 nights’ accommodation from August 12-18
- Buy-in to the £400 Women’s Summer Festival Main Event
Here’s how you can nominate those deserving women in your life:
- Tell us why this woman is a worthy candidate, focusing on their character, achievements, connection to poker and the positive impact they’ve made — whether in or outside the poker community.
- Submit your entries by replying to the tweet below, by sending an email to hello@poker.org or by sharing a video (no longer than 250 words or 2 minutes for video).
- The deadline for submissions is 23:59 ET on August 1, 2025.
The PokerOrg team — with the help of PokerStars ambassadors and advocates for women in poker, Jennifer Shahade and Caitlin Comeskey — will go through each submission to pick the most deserving nominee.

About the Women's Summer Festival
Following the highly successful inaugural Women’s Winter Festival that took place at the Hippodrome Casino in London last November, PokerStars is bringing female players a summer edition of the series, the Women’s Summer Festival, with an enhanced schedule, giving female players another opportunity to play poker in a competitive yet supportive environment.
Running from August 12-17 at The Clermont, Charing Cross Hotel, the festival promises plenty of action across the six-day schedule.
Highlights include the £100,000 guaranteed Main Event which will run August 14-17 and the High Roller on August 13. The 50/50 event, which proved highly attractive in November, also returns on August 16, requiring players to enter as a team of two, made up of one female and one male.
The inaugural Women’s Winter Festival broke records as the largest women’s poker event held outside Las Vegas, attracting big name players including Marle Spragg, Kyna England, Vanessa Kade, and Caitlin Comeskey.
The event was the brainchild of Hippodrome Director of Poker and PokerStars Ambassador Kerryjane Craigie, in response to clear demands for more dedicated events for women, including higher guarantees and High Roller events. Find out more in our interview with Craigie.
