Hunt on for Louth ‘People of the Year’ nominees
THE People of the Year
Awards, in partnership with ‘ Today with Sean O’Rourke’ on RTÉ Radio 1, is looking for the local heroes and ordinary people who do extraordinary things across Louth.
Do you know someone who does extraordinary things that really make a difference to their family, friends, neighbours, work colleagues or in their local community?
Well now is the chance to have their unsung heroism acknowledged live on TV!
The team behind RTÉ Radio 1’s Today with Sean O’Rourke are calling out to people in Louth to nominate their heroic partners, friends, parents, neighbours and co-workers that deserve some national recognition.
The winner will be honoured at the 43rd People of the Year Awards, organised by Rehab Group, which will be held on March 3rd.
Ireland’s ‘Everyday Hero’ can be of any age, from any walk of life and from any part of Ireland but there is just one criterion – they must be really special to be considered.
They can be the essence of community spirit, or they can be the person who puts everyone else before themselves and never asks for thanks.
To nominate your everyday hero, log on to peopleoftheyear.com.
A selection of nominators will be brought on air to talk to Sean to tell everyone just why the person they are nominating is an ‘Everyday Hero’.
All the nominations will be considered by the adjudication panel and will be announced live on the People of the Year Awards TV programme on RTÉ One on Saturday, March 3rd 2018.
Stay tuned weekdays to Today with Sean O’Rourke on RTÉ Radio 1, which airs from 10am to 12pm for further details. Closing date is Friday January 19th. Mo Flynn, Chief Executive of Rehab Group, said: ‘We have vital and important services for people with disabilities around the country, including Dundalk and Drogheda, and we see heroes in communities every day.
She added: ‘Everybody knows someone who is always doing something for others. These people often go unrewarded and unrecognised.
This is a chance to say thank you to them in a unique way, so please nominate your ‘Everyday Hero’ for a People of the Year Award.’
