Special Olympics Ireland Volunteer Awards 2025
Since 2021, Special Olympics volunteers have been acknowledging and celebrating each others' contributions through the Special Olympics Ireland Volunteer Awards.
The Awards provide the opportunity for volunteers to recognise their peers for the dedication, energy, enthusiasm and “can do” approach they bring to Special Olympics.
2025 is the fifth year of the Awards, a celebration of which will be held in Dublin in mid-September.
By nominating another volunteer today, you are playing a part in ensuring their contributions are recognised. What a great way to lift others up and encourage them to continue their valuable activities! Don’t assume someone else will send in a nomination - take a little time to champion another volunteer today.
Nominations are open from the 1st to the 30th of April 2025

We are inviting nominations for volunteers under the following categories:
The nomination forms explained
- Each category requires answers to 3 questions specific to what the category is aimed to recognise.
- Remember when filling in your nomination, the judges are independent and won’t know your nominee like you do so please be specific about your reasons for nominating. The category descriptors and the specific questions will guide you.
- You will also be asked for some details of the volunteer you are nominating – this is so we can identify them.
