The Heritage Council has announced details for the National Heritage Awards 2021. This year’s awards once again include a category for the best project from each county. In addition to the county awards, projects will be recognised under the following award categories:
Heritage Hero: awarded to an individual or organisation that has demonstrated an outstanding contribution to the protection and promotion of heritage in Ireland. Awarded based on nominations by the public.
Heritage newcomers: awarded to an individual or a group new to National Heritage Week and who demonstrated considerable interest and innovation in their first encounter with the week.
Heritage sharing: awarded to the project which connected with an individual or a group in the community normally excluded from heritage; or a project which explored an aspect of local heritage that is seldom considered or celebrated.
Heritage for all ages: awarded to a project which successfully included participants from different age groups.
Water Heritage: awarded to the project that best explores how a canal, river, lake or the sea shapes heritage in a locality, and which is shared with the wider community.
Wild Child: awarded to a project which successfully encourages children and families to drop the devices, jump off the couch and get outdoors for and explore the heritage in their locality.
All project organisers who successfully upload a heritage project on heritageweek.ie by Monday, 30th August 2021 will be considered for a National Heritage Award. Click here to find out more.
