The "Highpointeer of the Year" awards category

Highpointeer of the Year is the awards category open to individuals who visit locations which feature on the Gribbon list of Ireland's major geographical High Points. To be considered for a Highpointeer of the Year award, entrants must provide links to their Peakhunter log entries. Peakhunter is our official logging partner. Entrants are also advised to record photographic evidence of their visits to High Point locations during that year.

There are three awards available in this category:

Gold Award: received by the entrant with the highest points score.
Silver Award: received by the entrant with the second highest points score.
Bronze Award: received by the entrant with the third highest points score.
