LookWest.ie, the Western Development Commission’s online guide to living, working and doing business in the Western Region, has launched a campaign to find the seven Wonders of the West. Members of the public are asked to nominate their favourite place or experience and the nominations that receive the most public votes will be included in the final list of seven.
“We all have our own favourite places, experiences and treasures in the region, be they memories from childhood or more recent enjoyable experiences,” said Joanne Grehan of the WDC. “With the advances in social media LookWest.ie is a great platform to host this competition which allows the general public to tell the world about the western region’s hidden gems. There will be two phases to the campaign; a nomination stage followed by a public vote. Nominations can include any location or site in the western region, man-made or natural, ancient, medieval, or modern. People can also nominate their favourite traditions, festivals, or experiences.
All entrants will be eligible to win a number of fantastic prizes including an Apple iPad, a €250 voucher from Kennys.ie, or return tickets to Birmingham and Manchester with bmibaby.com in association with Ireland West Airport Knock.
Nominations can be made on www.lookwest.ie, by email to [email protected] and on www.facebook.com/LookWest before 5pm on Thursday November 25.
