Women of the Year ceremony is in December, but the award is decided a few months before. It is based on metrics other than pure sales/airplay. It cites innovation and leadership in the industry.
I doubt Taylor will win it this coming year, simply because she won it last year and they will want to have another example of a woman succeeding in the industry. The whole point of BB Women In Music awards is to showcase/celebrate/encourage that.
A wildcard candidate that could win is Janet Jackson. She is dropping a new album this year and has the legacy to win the award. I think Shania Twain also has a great shot. She is touring again and made a big impact before her hiatus. Could be her time to win it.
Speaking about Shania. She did this interview a few days ago.

What are your thoughts on country music these days?
I never really can pick favorites. There’s a lot of great guys out there now. There’s room for girls to come out strong again. [Little Big Town’s] “Girl Crush” is a great song, great vocal. I love Taylor [Swift], even though I know she’s crossed over to the other side in a permanent way. I still think she’s a country artist.

I love how she name checks Taylor as one of the things she loves when asked about current Country Music!
