The "Highpointeering Event of the Year" awards category
|
The Highpointeering Event of the Year award category is our way of celebrating Ireland's favourite walking events.
To be considered for a Highpointeering Event of the Year award, an Associated Walking Event must attract at least five visits by five different Highpointeers to each of the individual High Point locations it features, all of which must be logged using the Peakhunter app and be rated on a Highpointeer Score Form. The mean average of all ratings an Associated Walking Event receives during the year will become its official score in the Highpointeering Event of the Year awards competition. |
There are three awards available in this category:
This year-long awards competition is being run for the first time in 2019.
The Highpointeering Event of the Year awards competition is only open to walking events which are listed as Associated Walking Events on the High Point Ireland website. If you know of any walking events which feature High Point locations but do not appear on our Associated Walking Events list, please tell the event organisers about our annual Highpointeering Event of the Year awards competition so they can arrange to get listed. If you are the organiser of a non-associated walking event, we invite you to get your event listed so it can be represented in this unique all-Ireland competition.
- Gold Award: received by the event with the highest average rating.
- Silver Award: received by the event with the second highest average rating.
- Bronze Award: received by the event with the third highest average rating.
