Carlow Chamber

Carlow Business Awards

The Carlow Business Awards are more than just an event – the are a recognition of excellence in business, and an opportunity to celebrate talent and achievement.

The awards run over the summer months – beginning with a launch event and culminating in the awards night, in September, when we celebrate our winners.

The awards are open to any business in Carlow – not only Chamber members.  There are currently 26 categories in all. There are 22 categories that businesses can be nominated for – either by self-nomination or a nomination by a happy customer, client, friend or member of the public.

Applicants go through a process of assessment, shortlisting and final judging over the summer months before the finalists are announced 3-4 weeks in advance of the Awards night.  This robust and transparent process ensures a healthy sense of competition – and adds to the excitement when the winners are announced on the awards night.
