Mary Fowler has been included in the shortlist of candidates for the European Golden Girl Award, making it back-to-back nominations for the award.
The Golden Girl Award is a recognition of the best young talent in Europe during a calendar year, Germany's Jule Brand won the inaugural award in 2022 and thus is not eligible for a nomination this year.
