Have you someone in mind for the Mayo Person of the Year award?
Mayo Association Dublin annual awards nominations now open
The Mayo Association Dublin have today announced they are accepting nominations for their prestigious annual awards, including the Mayo Person of the Year award.
This accolade has been awarded to a host of well-known Mayo people over the years. To qualify for the Mayo Person of the Year award the person must have been born in Mayo, or of Mayo parentage, or who has lived in Mayo for not less than seven years and who, in the opinion of a panel of three independent adjudicators, has made an exceptional contribution to Mayo or its people.
The Meitheal of the Year award will be presented to a voluntary group or organisation based in Mayo, whose majority of its membership were born in Mayo or of Mayo parentage and who, in the opinion of the adjudicators, have achieved the greatest distinction or done most for the county or its people.
The nomination submissions should include any relevant information on the contribution of the nominee to Mayo directly and indirectly. A strong application generally includes an executive summary, various narratives/articles/photographs/awards, reflecting the various contributions/achievements of the nominee and may include letters of support for the nomination. Quality above quantity is important in relation to the presentation of the nomination. Nomination Forms are available from Helena Kelly at [email protected] or Paraic Joyce [email protected].
The Committee and members of Mayo Association Dublin are not involved in the selection of the winners of these awards. Each year, the Committee of the Association selects an independent panel of three adjudicators to whom qualifying nominations are passed on to for consideration.
The 2023 Awards Luncheon will be hosted at The Intercontinental Hotel Ballsbridge Dublin 4, on Friday, March 8. Provisional bookings for places/tables at this event can be made through Helena Kell at [email protected] or Paraic Joyce [email protected].
Closing date for nominations is Friday, February 9.
