Movember
3 minutes read time

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.

" Movember wouldn’t be Movember without you. "

Drum roll....the shortlisted nominees for the 2023 hairy season are...

The 2023 Rookie Award

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

The 2023 Grow Award

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

The 2023 Move Award

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

The 2023 Mo Your Own Way Award

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

The 2023 Host Award
