1,055 projects by more than 863 groups, families and communities competed for this year’s awards despite Covid-19 restrictions
The strenuous efforts of individuals, families and communities across Ireland to preserve, protect and promote the nation’s built, natural and cultural legacy received recognition at the National Heritage Awards 2021 ceremony that was held on 20 October.
The online event, hosted by the Heritage Council and presented by RTÉ broadcaster, Anne Cassin, showcased the most engaging and innovative projects from National Heritage Week 2021. Because of Covid-related restrictions on gatherings, this year National Heritage Week saw a mix of online, in-person and community projects.
Heeding the call of the Heritage Council to ‘open the door to heritage’ and celebrate local heritage for the first time, more than 1,055 projects by more than 863 groups, families and communities enrolled on the Heritage Week website and were considered for an award. Projects were evaluated on the basis of their local reach and community engagement, approach to awareness-raising, use of resources to inform their work, and the level to which they involved different age groups.
For the first time in the history of the awards, this year’s edition included a Wild Child Award, sponsored by the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth. The idea was to recognize the project that was most instrumental in encouraging children and families to explore the heritage in their locality.
