2. Welcome!
The Snapys Awards were created by Connector for the Irish Instagram
communityafterthe success ofourfirst Instagalleryevent.
Our mission is to make the world a more beautiful place, one photo at a
time. We want to take this beauty off Instagram and bring it offline with
real-world events and experiences.
Our partnership with Huawei has been a stunning success as we honour
the most talented Instagrammers in Ireland.
We empowercreators to take a shot at greatness, to rise above the noise,
sharetheirpassionandshoottheirtakeonfashion,culture,foodandmore.

recognitionyou deserve.
We are thrilled that several of last year’s winners are already building a
career out of their Instagram profiles and working as professionals with
brands.Tonightwewant towelcome morewinners to ourhalloffame!
