Know any Co Kildare women who could win Mum of the Year?

Nominations are open for the Woman’s Way Mum of the Year Awards 2016.

Maynooth woman Olive Tumulty (pictured with daughter Lily) was crowned Leinster Mum of the Year 2015 and walked away with a luxury goody bag alongside the prestigious overall title.

The overall winner will scoop €2,000 cash courtesy of Woman’s Way plus a selection of luxury treats to the value of €3,000.

Each of the finalists will walk away with luxury gifts worth in excess of €500.

The Awards 2016 are celebrating their 13th year and give spouses, children, relatives, friends and community groups the opportunity to recognise and reward the fantastic work mums do for their families and friends.

Finalists will be chosen to attend a special event at the Festival of Women on September 16-18 at the RDS, Dublin.

Áine Toner, editor of Woman’s Way says: “It may be thirteen years into our search for Ireland’s No1 mums, but it’s going to be another lucky year for our finalists and overall winner.

"Given the volume and nominations we’ve received since the Awards began, it’s clear that our original goal – to give local heroes a chance to shine – remains paramount. If you want to nominate your mum or a mum you know, I urge you to do so.”

If you know a mum who deserves recognition, complete the nomination form in the current issue of Woman’s Way or log onto www.womansway.ie. The closing date for entries is August 5, 2016.
