.IE Digital Town Awards 2021:  7 days until applications close! 

There are 14 awards in a number of categories with a total prize fund of €100k.

The Covid-19 pandemic has had an enormous impact on our country.  Digital offers the opportunity to create new ways of doing things, promote innovation and breathe new life into local communities, making them more attractive places to live and work as well as contributing to a more sustainable future.

The .IE Digital Town Awards are open to towns of various sizes across the island of Ireland. There are 14 awards across a number of categories with a total prize fund of €100,000. You can see all details on our website.

The awards promote awareness, knowledge, use and understanding of digital in Ireland by its citizens, businesses and communities. They also highlight the benefits and possibilities of digital and celebrates the digital achievements of local towns, big and small.

The awards are the first phase of our .IE Digital Town programme that has been developed to foster digital enhancement and adoption in Ireland.  There are three elements to .IE’s new Digital Town programme, including the .IE Digital Town Awards, a new digital town ‘assessment tool’, and strategic data-gathering partnerships.

This is an ideal opportunity to raise the profile of towns across Ireland and to help retain existing and attract new workers and residents to your town. A digitally advanced town can encourage investment from new and existing employers or support a start-up community. The .IE Digital Town Awards create a sense of pride in a town and act as a catalyst for creating positive change.
