The An Post Irish Book Awards 2021 to revert to virtual ceremony on 23rd November
It is with much regret and some sadness that we are announcing that The An Post Irish Book Awards Ceremony will be moving to a virtual format this year, meaning that the in-person event is now cancelled.
Up until this morning, Monday 15th November, it was hoped that the awards could go ahead as an-in person event, however this situation has unfortunately changed in light of the worsening Covid-19 situation and the most recent guidance on reducing social interactions.
A great deal of work had gone into the planning of the awards and we’re delighted to say that we will still be hosting a virtual awards ceremony to be streamed on RTÉ.ie on 23rd November. A further statement on details surrounding the virtual announcement will follow shortly.
Anyone who has purchased tickets will be refunded in full within 5-7 business days.
Sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused, we look forward to celebrating safely together in 2022.
