A local business owner will represent Airdrie and all of Alberta in this year's RevolutionHER Awards.

The awards represent the best female business owners in North America through five categories.

"It is an award system that tries to look at different categories and women-owned businesses within those categories," said Avalon Lukacs, owner of Aura Inner Beauty. "Really just celebrate women founders and what women are doing."

Aura Inner Beauty was named a finalist for the Momentum Small Business Award which showcases a business owner that displays innovation and leadership in a product or service-based business.

Lukacs is the only Alberta entrepreneur to be nominated in either of the five categories.

She said her business takes a different approach when it comes to selling beauty and wellness. For her, quality and lifestyle are at the forefront.

"We really try to change that by investing in really high-quality ingredients that pushes our prices up a little bit but also elevates the whole experience by the aesthetics of our packaging and really just trying to make wellness as a lifestyle and something that feels really special to do every day."

The awards will take place during the RevolutionHER Summit from Sept. 29 to Oct. 1.
