Aisling Awards

For 29 years, the Aisling Awards have epitomised the very best of Belfast — that generous, gritty and unbeatable spirit which characterises a city on the rise. Making the Awards possible have been the community champions, businesses, and bridge-builders shaping the new Belfast. 

Now we invite you to join in the Aisling celebration by nominating your neighbourhood heroes and stellar achievers for our 2025 Awards which will take place in the Europa Hotel on Friday 28 November 2025.

Join us in this civic salute to the beacons of Belfast.

Submit your nominations for the 2025 Aisling Awards online here before Deadline Friday 26th September
