Welcome
Welcome to the Midwest Arts, Media & Culture Awards (MAMCA for short). We are starting our first year in operation. Our goal: to recognise the best the region has to offer. Our method: an awards ceremony that provides positive promotion and encouragement for arts in the midwest of Ireland.
Please browse our site and see how we operate. Check out the judges, our rules and the categories in which we will be awarding prizes. Don't forget our sponsors! Without them this wouldn't be happening. And if you'd like to show your appreciation for the incredible diversity of cultural activities we enjoy, why not sponsor a MAMCA award yourself?
You'll want to pay special attention to our event listings. Coming up is our gala awards ceremony, sure to be one of the unmissable dates on the Irish social calendar!
Sincerely,
Nicky Woulfe, Event Manager
Mairtin O'Briain, Awards Committee Chairman
How to Enter
Are you the producer of a media programme or event? Are you the manager of a newspaper, radio, or television station? Are you an arts organiser? If so, you can nominate a work for an award!
Our Mission
We established these awards to recognise the best the Irish midwest has to offer in the areas of artistic production, cultural events and reportage. Find out why.
