Pictures: 2003-04 Link nominations

The build up to the final of the Link Awards is gathering pace. Charities gathered with their business supporters last week at NICVA for the 2004 Link Awards nominations.

Over two evenings, 8 and 9 September, food, wine and music was enjoyed, followed by the announcement of 107 nominations. Paul Clark of UTV was host at both evenings.

This is the eighteenth year of the Awards which were designed so that charities could say a public thank you to business supporters who donated time, money and expertise to their cause.

Each business received a framed Link certificate and will be a contender for the overall Link Award. Winners will be announced at a Gala dinner at the Ramada Hotel on 23 September.
