This year there will be seven monthly winners, from May to November inclusive. Each monthly winner will receive a prize of a €100 One4all gift voucher and will be invited as a guest to the 23rd Irish Travel Trade Awards – the Irish travel industry’s ‘Oscars’ – to be held at the DoubleTree by Hilton Dublin – Burlington Road, on Friday 28th November 2014, from 7.30pm until late.
In November, all seven winning reports will be re-assessed and the overall 2014 Budding Travel Writer of the Year will be announced, and the award and cheque presented, on the awards night.
