2024 SHORTLIST
This year, we were overwhelmed by the incredible response to the NI Social Media Awards, with over 500 submissions received across all categories and more than 1,000 nominations for the influencer categories via Belfast Live. Some categories saw over 40 entries, making the competition fiercer than ever. Narrowing it down to just eight finalists per category was no easy task, and we are truly impressed by the exceptional quality and creativity showcased. Thank you to everyone who took part – the competition was incredibly tough!
