Dungarvan and West Waterford Chamber launched its 2017 Business Awards on Thursday in Kilmacthomas, County Waterford.
There are eleven categories in total, from an Innovation award to an Irish in Business gong, with each winner then going through to be considered for the overall Business of the Year Award.
There will also be a People's Choice Award open to a public vote via social media.
Nominations are open until until the 28th of September, with the awards themselves on the the 3rd of November.
It's the first time the awards are being held since the opening of the Greenway, an initiative CEO of Dungarvan Chamber of Commerce Jenny Beresford says has completely changed the fortunes for businesses.
