Nominate A Rural Business For a Countryside Alliance award

Do you know a rural business that you could nominate for a Countryside Alliance award?

It’s down to the general public to nominate their favourite rural businesses and put them forward to be considered for a prestigious Countryside Alliance Award.

Five categories – village shop, butcher, pub, rural enterprise and local food and are run across the whole of the UK.

The applicants are judged on a range of criteria including their passion and commitment, sense of community, championing local food and the energy and diversity of their business.

Being nominated for the Countryside Alliance Awards can have a real impact on rural businesses.

You can now nominate a rural business for the Countryside Alliance Awards just launched.

Most importantly, those businesses that go on to become finalists or champions will receive regional and national recognition, strengthening the reputation of their brand. 

Nominating in the Countryside Alliance Awards is a chance to celebrate rural businesses’ huge impact on communities and help them build for even more success in the future.

Gary McCartney Director of Countryside Alliance Ireland, said: “We are very proud to be rolling the Countryside Alliance Awards out across Northern Ireland.

“We look forward to honouring many deserving nominees this year.

“We are rewarding vision, enterprise and guile, but we are also rewarding old fashioned community values and the sort of spirit that many of the countryside’s detractors have written off.

“We want to show them that the countryside is one of our greatest assets, and its enterprising and passionate people are the reason why.”
