in haar (eigen) categorie.
"In her own right" betekent "op zichzelfstaand" zoals in "that is a category in her own right." Dat is een op zichzelfstaande categorie. Er zijn allerlei Euro Effie categorieen (zie link). Hier zou ik het gewoon vertalen met "in haar categorie." (Ik denk dat het engelse gebruik hier niet correct is).
