May 2022 We are delighted to announce the launch of the MACE Unsung Heroes Community Awards 2022. We want to hear who the unsung heroes are in local communities all around Ireland. The people who go the extra mile to make a difference, but in many cases do not get the recognition they deserve or would never put themselves forward for an award. We want you to nominate your unsung hero, and to tell us which award you think they should win and why. There are 5 award categories with a prize of €1000 for the most worthy hero in each category and the overall MACE Community Award winner will receive an amazing €5000.

HOW TO ENTER: Simply tell us who you are nominating and in less than 200 words what they have done and why they deserve to win; you can upload an image/video to support your entry if you wish (.jpg, .png and .mp4 are all accepted formats; up to 0.5GB in size; maximum video length 60 seconds please) and supply contact details. There is no limit on the number of award categories that someone can be nominated. Terms & conditions apply.

Closing date for entries is 31st May 2022. Winners will be announced in June 2022.
