2023 was a fantastic year for the Irish Mo family; over 11,500 of you stood up, answered the call and helped change the face of men’s health.
Every year, we recognise those who have gone above and beyond at our Mo Awards. It’s with great pleasure and huge excitement, that we announce the moustachioed wonders who have made our Mo Awards ‘24 Shortlist.
Congratulations to all our nominees. It was incredibly difficult to narrow down this list as we have such an awesome community filled with so many brilliant people and businesses. If there was an award for being legends, you would all win.
Everyone who took part in Movember in 2023 should hold their heads up high and walk tall – you are the people who will push the dial for the men’s health movement.
Drum roll....the shortlisted nominees for the 2023 hairy season are...
This Mo took part in Movember for the first time in 2023 and made an IMPACT. Whether they were an individual with a hugely moving story that brought people to tears, or a team that inspired their community in a big way, they deserve to be recognised for making an entrance into the hairy world of Movember with a bang.
The Nominees are: Jo-hanna Quinn, Mark Whitehead, St. Colman’s Community College Midleton, William Tone
From the wispy one to the oddly sexy one, they all make a difference and save lives. Has someone’s facial hair put hair on your back with the impact it made, or is there a dedicated year-on-year Mo whose moustache will forever live rent-free in your thoughts? This award goes to the finest ‘Grower’ of 2023.
The Nominees are: Domhnall Nugent, Joe Cronin, Kevin Sharkey, Paul Hickey
Whether it’s 6, 60 or 600km, every move for Movember makes a difference. This award goes to those who have gone the distance in the name of men’s health. They’ve literally gone above and beyond either by the distance they covered or having completed their challenge in the face of adversity.
The Nominees are: Andrew Nicholson, Darragh Allen, Kieran Murphy, Robbie O Shea
Some people just don’t fit the Mo-uld. There’s absolutely no shortage of wild and whacky fundraisers, but these people really embodied the concept of Mo Your Own Way, in choosing their own creative way to get involved in the Movember campaign
The Nominees are: Cian Griffin, The Hendrick, UCC Engineers Without Borders Society, Vadim Piel
This award goes out to all the hosts who have brought people together in the name of men’s health. From quizzes to parties, these Mo-ments are what make Movember special.

This award goes to an inspirational fundraiser who has made it their mission to go above and beyond to support their community. From low key personal Mo’ments to big scale plans, they changed attitudes and behaviours towards men’s health
