The Outsider Awards 2022 are back and they promise to be bigger and better than ever before, thanks to our amazing nominees and sponsors.

The annual Outsider Awards event celebrates all of the amazing achievements, milestones and contributions that have taken place in the Irish outdoor community over the past year. And we have to say that we are truly blown away by the calibre of our nominees in 2022.

You can read all about our amazing nominees here. Some categories will be decided by our panel of judges and other categories will be chosen by you, our readers, via a voting system. So don’t forget to vote for your favourites in those applicable categories!

The overall winners will be crowned at the Outsider Awards event at the Sugar Club in Dublin on 1 February 2023. It’s always a great evening that brings together all of the amazing individuals and groups that make the Irish outdoor scene so special.

Tickets are on sale now but are very limited, so snap one up before it’s too late! Nominees will receive a complimentary ticket, so keep an eye on your inbox in the coming days!

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 is Sport Ireland. And our other supporting sponsors are Craghoppers, Leave No Trace, Hiiker, Clean Coasts, Salewa and Collen Construction.

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.
