Now in its eighth year, the prestigious Eastside Awards in association with George Best Belfast City Airport is officially open for entry. With new sponsors, new categories and six awards open to public nomination, this year marks a significant milestone for the awards which acknowledge all that is great about East Belfast and which have recognised more than 200 finalists and winners since 2017. For the first time, entrants will have the option to submit their entry via video in an effort to make the process as accessible and as inclusive as possible. So for anyone who loves being in front of the camera, this option for entry will most certainly appeal to their best side!

Solv Group have been involved with the Eastside awards since its inauguration seven years ago. Not only is their Managing Director, Stephen Kane on the Eastside Awards committee panel but Solv are also sponsoring one of the most highly competitive categories this year: Favourite Eatery.
