EPIC stands for Excellence as a woman business owner, Professional accomplishments during the past 5 years, Initiative and creativity in addressing major challenges in her business, and Civic and community involvement. These are all qualities that women business owners display each and every day. The judges, prominent members of the business community, base their decisions on these four areas.

In addition, the Samuel G. Swope Humanitarian Award is given to one of the EPIC nominees based upon community service and community involvement. Sponsored by Sam Swope Auto Group, the award is inspired by the legacy of humanitarian work that Sam Swope has left on the Louisville community. As a special bonus, the winner of this award receives $1,500 to donate to the charity of her choice. The Samuel G. Swope Humanitarian Award provides yet another opportunity to draw attention to the impact that women entrepreneurs have on the Louisville community.
