Flame Bearers was founded in 2020 by Jamie Mittelman. We are a community driving positive change, building connections, and creating a space where women athletes feel valued and empowered to share their stories. We tell stories via podcast, video and live events, giving women Olympians & Paralympians a platform to share their trials and triumphs, discuss what life is like outside the games, what matters most to them, and bring unique perspectives to their stories.
"It is an incredible achievement to be selected among the best from the nearly 14,000 entries we received this year."
Announced winners will be honored on April 25 in a star-studded show at Cipriani Wall Street and they have an opportunity to deliver one of The Webby Awards' famous 5-Word Speeches. Past 5-Word Speeches include NASA's "Houston We Have A Webby" and Drew Barrymore's "Social Media's a Wild Ride."
