Belfast Harbour, Proud supporters of the Eastside Awards
Belfast Harbour has been named sponsor of the Contribution from a Community Project Category in the Eastside Awards.
Now open for online entry, the second Eastside Awards in association with George Best Belfast City Airport, celebrates the best of East Belfast.
Thirteen awards categories recognise the best in business, food, independent retail, sport and volunteering in an area of the city already renowned for some of the country’s best footballers, best writers, best business leaders and best shipbuilders. Last year’s inaugural awards culminated in a glittering celebration at Hastings Stormont Hotel which will again be the venue for the awards ceremony in January 2018.

“Eastside Awards recognises everything that is the best about East Belfast. From celebrating the achievements of our young people to those who are contributing to the economic impact of the area, to inspirational residents who volunteer their time to helping others and those who entertain or who are committed to our next generation.”
