The Women in Poker Hall of Fame has returned by opening its public nomination for the next inductee. The nomination process is already on and you can submit your nomination until September 23, 2024.
Established in 2008, the Women in Poker Hall of Fame (WiPHoF) has played a pivotal role in celebrating female poker players and their contributions to the game, paving the way for future generations of female players.
Anyone from the poker public can submit a nomination. After the submissions, the Hall committee will review the nominations for qualification and consideration for the next inductee into the Women in Poker Hall of Fame.

- Candidates must have been actively involved in the game as a player or as an industry leader for a minimum of 10 years before the election and should be 35 years of age or older.
