Just a week left to go…

If you haven’t already put your entry in for this year’s LCN Gala Awards, then you have only a week left to get moving.

This is the sixth year that our competition and gala evening has been staged – it’s the biggest event of its kind for the local hospitality trade and each year, our big awards evening in Belfast is bigger and brighter than its predecessor. This year will be no exception.

We have exciting new categories this year – including Mixologist of the Year, sponsored by Dillon Bass – and we have already experienced an unprecedented level of interest across the board.

But the closing date for entries is March 10, so if you haven’t got yours in, now is the time to do so. You can find full details of all our categories and an entry form at www.lcnawards.com

The competition is, as always, free to enter and it will be independently judged by local mystery shopping specialist, Shopcheck NI.

“We’re confident that the level of entries for our 2016 event is going to reflect the soaring popularity of this annual event,” LCN editor, Russell Campbell, said recently. “The awards are open to all aspects of the industry and in terms of PR and recognition, they are invaluable, so I think it’s going to be very exciting to see what the trade has to offer us this time around.”

Every finalist will be a complimentary guest at our big gala awards night in the Europa on June 10, but if you’d like to book your own table at the year’s biggest hospitality party, then there is still some good availability. Just call Pamela Beers on 90 457 457 for more details, or email her on pamela.beers@pentonpublications.co.uk

So there’s no reason to delay – get your entry in now and secure a place for yourself among the finalists at the Licensed & Catering News Awards 2016. It’s going to be massive…
