Clare Business Excellence Awards 2025
Best Voluntary/Community Group
Sponsored by Vitalograph
Entry Criteria
The Best Voluntary/Community Group award is FREE to enter and carries a cash prize of €500 to the winner.
The purpose of this award is to acknowledge groups, powered by volunteers, who have played a significant role in enhancing the quality of life in their local community.
Judging is via written submission – a short case study will suffice. The judges simply want to hear what your group did over the past year that made your contribution to your local community special.
We want to hear from you if:
- You represent a sports club or local voluntary group who has supported people living in their community
- You are part of a long-standing community group such as Tidy Towns, a local tourism community group, etc
- You organise local festivals or events to help boost your local economy
- Your group launched a new community/voluntary initiative in the past year
The judges’ decision will be final, and no correspondence will be entered into before or after judging.
Once a company is announced as finalist, it cannot withdraw from the competition.
Guidelines for Submission & Deadline
You should aim to type no more than 1500 words in total. You may attach up to three pieces of supplementary evidence, such as photographs to your submission.
Entry is free.
Application to be received on or before September 12, 2025.
