Cavan and Monaghan Arts and Health Forum, and the One Million Stars to End Violence from Mental Health Ireland - Cavan, were also nominated but ultimately missed out on the night.

President Michael D. Higgins says the Pride of Place awards are an important initiative that reminds us that creating societies that are ethical and inclusive is a task for all of our citizens.
