The anxious wait will soon be over to find out who the finalists are in Isle of Man Newspapers’ Pride in Mann awards.
A judging panel, including representatives from awards sponsors, the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company, meet next week to face the unenviable task of selecting the top three nominees in each of the 12 categories.
Readers then get to decide the individual or organisation they would like to win each category.
A four-page supplement detailing all of the finalists will be published in the Isle of Man Examiner’s sister paper, the Manx Independent, in next week’s edition (October 15).
At the back of the supplement there will also be a voting form. Voting will close on October 22.
All of the finalists will be invited to attend the Pride in Mann awards presentation on November 4.
And the winners will be revealed in the Manx Independent on November 12.
Nominations have been made across the 12 categories: Charities and Volunteers, Community Champion, Emergency and Health Services, Environmental Awareness, Good Neighbour, Local Hero, Manx Cultural Champion, Manx Welcome, Performer of the Year, Service with a Smile, Spirit of Youth/Schools and Sporting Achievement.
