Dear Mr. Archive,
The CEF Annual Environmental Awards were established in 2001 to mark the outstanding contribution of individual citizens, organisations and businesses to the preservation or improvement of the environment of Cork City and County. Amongst the many past winners are Noel Dillon (Individual Category) , ex-County Manager for his vision in establishing CEF in 1995; Sustain West Cork (Community & Voluntary Category); Cork City and County Heritage Officers for Biodiversity Plans (Public) and Avego (Private) for their car sharing app. See here for a full list of past award winners.

This year as always CEF is looking for nominations for individuals, groups or businesses in the 4 pillars of society as listed below as well as the Community Garden Award initiated in 2009. In addition, CEF is seeking nominations for a Lifetime Achievement category.

Please note that in the first 4 categories below, nominations are for specific projects or actions, while nominations for the lifetime achievement award are for an individual’s long term contribution to environmental care.

If you know of a person, group or business who is contributing in a positive way to the environment, please nominate them for one of the above awards by completing the nomination form and forwarding to bernadette@cef.ie . All nominations are considered and the winners chosen by a selection panel.The closing date for receipt of nominations is Wednesday 31st October 2012.

This year we are liaising with Cultivate in relation to Convergence 2012 and with permission will forward any innovative nominations to their “Breakthrough Ideas for the Future We Want”.

The awards ceremony will be held on the evening of Thursday 13^th December 2012 at the Firkin Crane, Shandon, Cork City (to be confirmed).
The event also serves as a seasonal social event for CEF members and interested parties with a wine reception and music so please drop in and join us for an evening of inspiration and recognition of the good work being done all around us.

Best regards,

Bernie
