JUDGING is well underway to pick the finalists for The Southern Star West Cork Business & Tourism Awards, with 72 businesses vying for three finalist spots across nine categories.

The businesses chosen to advance will take part in a pitch night, sponsored by OfficeMaster, at the Ludgate Hub in Skibbereen on Thursday, December 5th.
The pitch night is an opportunity for all finalists to convince the judges that they should win their particular category in the form of a three-minute presentation, showcasing their business.
This year’s judges are Aishling Goulden, HR lead for Ireland, Carbery; Josephine O’Driscoll, manager, Wild Atlantic Way, Fáilte Ireland; Paul DiRollo, owner and director, Glentree Furniture; Seán Mahon, managing director, Southern Star Media.
