About The Awards
The Mid Wales Tourism Awards recognise and reward excellence within the tourism sector throughout Powys, the Brecon Beacons, Ceredigion and Meirionnydd. If your business is based on the border of any of these counties then you must demonstrate that you market your business as being in Mid Wales (e.g. on your website).
Tourism Awards are well established in North and South Wales, and for some time now Mid Wales Tourism has lobbied for greater recognition of the Mid Wales region. We are delighted to secure Visit Wales' support.
The awards open for nominations in May 2019, with one overall winner from the majority of categories going forward to the national Visit Wales Awards in March 2020.
The shortlisting process is robust, and entrants will be judged by an expert panel of tourism industry professionals.
Where there is a tie or judges are split, personal site-visits may be arranged to reach our final decision; these will be communicated well in advance.

The Regional Approach
We welcome applications from throughout the region which includes Powys, Brecon Beacons, Ceredigion & Merionnydd.
Businesses on the borders are welcome to apply to these awards, or to other regional awards. Scoring criteria will consider whether businesses are proactively marketing themselves as 'Mid Wales' based and promoting the Mid Wales destination.
If you apply to the Mid Wales Tourism Awards please note this precludes you from applying for another region's tourism awards in the same year.
