How to enter
Fill in the form at the bottom of the page to enter before midnight on 27 May, 2025. It takes just a couple of minutes to be in with a chance of being shortlisted!
Please note, details of manufacturing on the island of Ireland must be made clear in your entry pitch.
Once entries close, our expert panel will get to work whittling down each category to our 2025 finalists. The finalists will be revealed in August, alongside a live vote for our readers to have their say. The winners will then be revealed at our awards ceremony in October.
Power of Provenance
This year’s theme is all about showcasing where each product comes from. Choosing to manufacture a product here in Ireland isn’t always the easiest or cheapest route, so we want to celebrate the makers who go that extra mile to be Irish-made. So much of where we’re from is rooted in the products we bring to market, and we want to celebrate the power of that provenance.
Be sure to highlight in your entry how the ‘place’ you are from is central to your product, whether that be in the raw materials you use, the design or the inspiration behind the item.

For full terms and conditions and entering guidelines please see irishcountrymagazine.ie/awards. We trust that entrants will be 100% transparent and honest in declaring their product is made in Ireland, but if it comes to judges’ attention that finalists have misrepresented this element, finalists can be subject to removal.
