Who will be the People of the Year?
The inaugural awards are supported by Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council.
Speaking at the launch Mayor Councillor Joan Baird OBE said: “What is most pleasing about these awards is that many of the categories are recognising community; voluntary or charitable work that is going on across our Borough on a daily basis.

Very often these people give their time and energy without complaint so it is only fitting that we as a society acknowledge the contribution that they make to community life.
“I have no doubt that the awards will be a huge success and that you will have no shortage of worthy nominations and people to honour at the ceremony in June.”
