PokerStars Female Summer Festival prize up for contenders to seize
PokerStars Women's Summer Festival Returns to London
Get ready for an exciting poker event as the Women's Summer Festival, hosted by PokerStars, is set to take place at The Clermont, Charing Cross Hotel from August 12-17. This summer edition of the series follows the successful Women's Winter Festival and promises a week of thrilling poker action.
The Women's Summer Festival was initially conceived by Kerryjane Craigie, the Hippodrome Director of Poker and PokerStars Ambassador, who also masterminded the Women's Winter Festival. The aim of these events is to provide more dedicated tournaments for women, offering higher guarantees and High Roller events.
Big-name players who attended the inaugural Women's Winter Festival included Marle Spragg, Kyna England, Vanessa Kade, and Caitlin Comeskey. This year, PokerOrg, in partnership with PokerStars, is launching a campaign to send one extraordinary woman to the PokerStars Women's Summer Festival Main Event in London, UK, this August.
To qualify, nominees must be women who have demonstrated outstanding poker skills, made significant contributions to the poker community, displayed sportsmanship, and positively influenced the promotion of women in poker. However, it's essential to note that the exact criteria for nominating an "extraordinary woman" are not publicly detailed or standard.
Nominations can be submitted by replying to a tweet, sending an email to hello@sporting, or sharing a video (no longer than 250 words or 2 minutes for video). The PokerOrg team, along with PokerStars ambassadors Jennifer Shahade and Caitlin Comeskey, will review each submission to select the most deserving nominee.
The winner of the competition will receive return economy flights to London, UK, 6 nights' accommodation from August 12-18, and a buy-in to the £400 Women's Summer Festival Main Event. Highlights of the festival include the £100,000 guaranteed Main Event (August 14-17), the High Roller (August 13), and the 50/50 event (August 16).
So, if you know an extraordinary woman who deserves this opportunity, don't hesitate to nominate her! The deadline for submissions is 23:59 ET on August 1, 2025. For more information about Kerryjane Craigie, the brainchild behind these events, you can find an interview with her.
The Women's Summer Festival, a week-long poker event, returns to London, offering an extraordinary woman a chance to travel and experience casino-gambling lifestyle. This festival, inspired by Kerryjane Craigie, aims to enrich the poker community by providing more tournaments for women, including casino-games like the £100,000 guaranteed Main Event. For those who wish to nominate an eligible woman, remember the deadline is August 1, 2025, and could potentially grant a poker enthusiast a memorable trip to London.
