The final stages of judging for the 2024 IPB Pride of Place Competition in Mayo will take place this week.
The IPB Pride of Place competition, in association with Co-operation Ireland, is an all-island competition organised by Co-operation Ireland and the local authorities to acknowledge the work being done every day by communities all over the island of Ireland.
Mayo County Council has nominated three groups for Pride of Place 2024: Inisturk - Category 11 - Community Tourism Initiative; Louisburgh community - Category 4 - Population 2,000 to 5,000; and Ballina Karen Community Garden - Category 9 - Inclusive Communities.
This ‘judges call’ is the final stage of the application and Pride of Place judges will conduct a site visit to each of these community groups, visiting and meeting with community representatives in each area.
Judges will visit Inishturk and Louisburgh tomorrow, and Ballina Community Garden on Thursday. Members of the three communities are encouraged to support and be part of judges' visit with the groups.
The Pride of Place awards will be announced at the awards ceremony on November 2, hosted by Monaghan County Council and will be held in the Hillgrove Hotel, Monaghan.
