PBWoman.com, a website created to promote paintball and an in increase the number of women playing, has established an annual award to recognize individual women who have made positive contributions to paintball’s growth. Pam “Cookie” Robertson, the force behind setting up PBWoman.com stated,

“My heartfelt thanks go out to everyone in our paintball community.  2010 PBWoman of the Year has been a combined volunteer effort by players as well as paintball industry leaders.  Industry competitors have set aside their differences for the common good by helping launch a positive project for our beloved community. It was an honor and a privilege to help assemble an incredible list of women in paintball for finalists as they were nominated by our community of players this year.  I wish we had an award to give them all.”

After a competitive nomination, biographical vetting, and voting process involving many industry sponsors, the winner selected to receive the first Paintball Woman of the Year Award is Bambi J. Bullard. The award includes, aside from the industry recognition for her for her efforts in paintball, a product package from the project’s many sponsors, which will be given to her in May at the annual “CPX Sports’ Living Legends produced by Viper” in Chicago.
