The prestigious Eastside Awards in association with Belfast City Airport has launched with new categories to recognise the best of East Belfast. The awards have celebrated the talents and achievements of more than 250 East Belfast people from all walks of life who have been named as finalists and winners over the past eight years.
This year the public is being encouraged to cast their vote for eight online categories with media partner Belfast Live, while the remaining categories will be judged from either written application or video entry, ensuring that the entry process is as accessible and inclusive as possible.
Phoenix Energy is proud to sponsor the Eastside Award for Excellence in Health and Wellbeing.
Speaking at the launch in Templemore Baths, Chair of the organising committee and Chief Executive of East Belfast Enterprise, Jonathan McAlpin, said: “I’m honoured to be launching the ninth Eastside Awards in a building which is steeped in history and heritage right in the heart of East Belfast where thousands of people have learnt to swim. If you are making a splash at a grassroots level in East Belfast and further afield, we want to know about it and I would encourage you to dive in and submit your entry today. We are grateful to our sponsors, as without their commitment, the Eastside Awards would not exist to shine a spotlight on this vibrant, diverse and dynamic corner of Belfast.”
