We would also like to extend a massive shout-out to our amazing sponsors that are helping us make this event possible. Without their support, we would not be able to put on this night to celebrate the Irish outdoor community.
Our hugely generous title sponsor for the Outsider Awards 2023 is Sport Ireland Outdoors. Our other supporting sponsors are Craghoppers, Leave No Trace, Salewa, Vagabond Tours, Sustainable Travel Ireland and Nuasan.
At the event, we will also celebrate Ireland’s incredible natural assets by hosting a panel discussion on Ireland’s outdoor spaces and how to protect them. This panel discussion will be supported by Leave No Trace.
