Entries are officially OPEN for the most anticipated event of the year – the Cork Business of the Year Awards!
This year, 2025, we’re inviting businesses to enter 11 categories – with no limit on how many categories or entries you submit. Enter one, enter them all – the choice is yours! We’ve revamped our Entry Forms for 2025, asking a bit more specific detail relevant to the category you are entering, and allowing you to share specific details as to why you deserve to win in that category. The CBA Cork Business of the Year Awards are the perfect way to acknowledge your business achievements and celebrate the accomplishments of the companies that will drive Cork forward into the future.
An experienced & independent panel of leading business and civic leaders will provide independent judging and the shortlist will be announced for public vote in late February. Three businesses will be shortlisted in each category and the public will then commence to vote for the winners. Voting numbers will make up 50% of points towards winning, and the judging panel votes will make up the remaining 50%.
The judges will also choose an Overall Company of the Year Award, as well as a Champion of Cork.
To enter, your business must be based in the greater Cork city area or be a current member of the Cork Business Association. The Awards Ceremony will take place at the CBA Presidents Dinner in Cork’s Vienna Woods Hotel, Saturday, March 29th, 2025, hosted by TodayFM Cork Native, Matt Cooper.
