The glitzy ceremony saw many of the north west’s finest being recognised with all finalists praised for the massive contribution they have made and continue to make for the betterment of local people.
We at the Derry Journal want to congratulate all the winners and the finalists for their fantastic contribution and want to thank all our sponsors for supporting the awards, which were first started by the late Martin McCrossan to recognise and honour the achievements of local people.
**Don’t miss our special supplement in next Friday’s edition of the Derry Journal.
