Three players from champions Chelsea are in the running for the FA WSL Goal of the Season award.
Eight goals have been shortlisted for the award and the winner will be announced at The FA Women's Awards at Wembley on Friday 4 December.
Chelsea have just completed a fantastic season, winning the League and Cup double, and strikes from Gilly Flaherty, Ji So-Yun and Fran Kirby are all in contention for goal of the season glory.
Ellen White's goal from an ingenious free-kick routine for Notts County against Arsenal is also on the list, as are two great strikes from Toni Duggan of Manchester City, plus goals from Arsenal's Natalia Pablos Sanchon and Beth Mead of Sunderland.
The nominations have also been announced for the Vauxhall England Women's Player of the Year and Young England Player of the Year.
The candidates for player of the year are goalkeeper Karen Bardsley, who was outstanding at the World Cup in the summer, Steph Houghton, who led the Lionesses to a fantastic bronze-medal finish, Fara Williams, who became the first woman to score at three different World Cups, and Lucy Bronze, who also enjoyed a great tournament, scoring a brilliant winner against Norway.
The young player nominees are Alex Greenwood, another key member of the World Cup squad, Fran Kirby, otherwise known as the 'Mini Messi', Mead, whose goals for Sunderland earned her a first international call-up this autumn, and Jodie Brett, who excelled as captain for the U19 side at the Euro finals in the summer.
The shortlists were drawn up by England head coach Mark Sampson and his assistant Marieanne Spacey.
The voting deadline is midday on Monday 26 October and you can vote for the England awards here, and the goal of the season award here.
