Celebrating companies that excel
The bonkers.ie Awards are all about celebrating companies that provide exceptional value and service to consumers in Ireland.
The event is an established part of the business calendar in Ireland and every year attracts leading representatives from some of the country’s best-known companies as well as members of the media, politicians and special guests.
Now in their 10th year, the Awards are a chance for companies to be recognised for going the extra mile.
Where will the ceremony take place?
This year’s ceremony will take place on Thursday 26th February 2026 in the Round Room at the Mansion House in Dublin.
Irish stand-up comedian Jason Byrne will act as MC for the event and keep you entertained over the course of the evening while guests will also be treated to a mind-blowing performance by hypnotist and magician Keith Barry.
An after-party until the early hours will be held across the road in Café en Seine after the event.
This year’s award categories
Each year there are over a dozen award categories across a variety of industries such as banking, energy, communications and insurance. There is also the Grand Prix award, which is chosen by the judges from the winners of all the other award categories and comes with the title of “Best Consumer Business”.
The nominees for this year's Awards will be announced in December, so check back soon!
Dress code
We like to celebrate in style. The dress code for the event is black-tie so dress to impress!
Judges
Like our site, The bonkers.ie Awards are independent and impartial and companies can't nominate themselves for an award.
To select the winners, bonkers.ie engages with a panel of experts and takes into account everything from customer service and value for money to innovation and breadth of offering.
The judging panel is led by broadcaster, entrepreneur and former “Dragon” Bobby Kerr.
Our supporters
We’ve been delighted to have had the support of many of Ireland's leading banks, energy providers, insurers, and telecommunications companies over the years at the bonkers.ie Awards. Thank you everyone.
Charity
As well as recognising great customer service and value, the Awards have partnered with Irish charities to raise much needed funds for worthy causes.
Recent charity partners have included mental health charity Aware, the Peter McVerry Trust, ARC Cancer Support Centres, and Gerri's Place, a non-profit, social enterprise that provides holistic support and breaks for people who need time and space to focus on their emotional and mental wellbeing.
