The first event took place last night, Monday 13 March where 15 local teams and individuals were recognised for their achievements most notably in the fields of sport, community and entertainment.
The ceremony took place at the Events Space at Hill of The O’Neill, Dungannon and was hosted by the Chair of the Council, Councillor Córa Corry.
Councillor Corry said: “While the achievements may all be different, the one thing which links each and every award recipient is the depth of their commitment and enthusiasm to their activity or area of work.
“Tonight we acknowledge all these attributes and in many cases, are giving much-deserved and usually unsought recognition for success. The award you will receive tonight is representative of that recognition and is a token of our appreciation.”
