Inspiring Aberdeenshire
Inspiring Aberdeenshire is one of the council’s biggest annual events. The awards celebrate the achievements and successes of our people across Aberdeenshire who go the extra mile for their communities, often with little or no other official recognition. Nominations have closed for the 2023 awards, and once the judges have agreed a shortlist we will publish that list on this page.
Thank you to everyone who nominated in 2022 and well done to all of our 2022 winners.
You can watch a recording of our 2021 ceremony on our Facebook or YouTube channels.
2022 winners
Our winners in the eight Inspiring categories, for everything from recognition of our young people to an award for heroes who have battled in the face of adversity, have been announced.

Performers
In previous years we have had performances during the night from local dancers, singers, school choirs, even a skipping group. We are always keen to get local performers involved throughout the night. If you are involved with a group who would like to be on stage with us at the next event, please email us with a short description of who you are and what you do. Video links will also help the organisers better understand your performance.
Sponsors
The event benefits from sponsorship by a range of local companies who are keen to be involved from year to year. View our sponsorship pack (PDF 8.17MB).
