The 2022 County Armagh People of the Year Awards Ceremony will be co-ordinated by Cordelias Foundation.

The event itself, will be held at Armagh City Hotel on Saturday November 19th and guests will see twelve people and/or groups from throughout the county receive a specially commissioned award in recognition of their achievements, contribution to society or obstacles they have overcome, which has made them an Armagh person/group to be proud of.

In addition to their individual award, on the night one of the 12 finalists will have the honour of being crowned the 2022 County Armagh Person of the Year and will be presented with the overall award, sponsored by Cordelias.
