The project helped support the conservation and enhancement of the sensitive, diverse environment and rich cultural heritage in the Mournes, while connecting communities to the beautiful landscape, reviving traditional skills and inspiring creative new ways of celebrating this cultural place. 

MMLP is competing with another nine projects in the Best Heritage Project Category, which also includes a £10,000 cash prize.

The winner is decided through a public voting system.

Voting will close on 21 August.
