We’re back
Celebrating the people who make Cork better, more fun and more Cork.
The Rebel Spirit Awards are back.
The original awards were created to recognise Cork people, businesses, community groups and organisations who stepped up during the pandemic and did things that made a real difference. They celebrated people who helped, created, supported, entertained and simply got on with doing good things when they were badly needed.
This time, we’re doing things a little differently.
The Rebel Spirit Awards will recognise the people who make Cork better, more fun and more Cork. One person, group, organisation or idea each month. One award. A bit of recognition for making Cork that bit better.
