Northern Ireland’s biggest lifestyle and entertainment awards are back, promising to be even bigger and better then before with a new venue and date!

After four years dominating the headlines, the GO Belfast Awards have been renamed The GO Awards (AKA The GONGS) and in their fifth year are set to be even bigger and better than before, moving to Titanic Belfast on 27th April 2012.

Brought to you by Northern Ireland’s number one lifestyle and entertainment magazine – GO, The GONGS 2012 will celebrate all that is great about NI’s social scene.

Voting is now open and the public are being asked to vote for their favourite people and places across the whole of Northern Ireland.

In true X-Factor style, the winners will be decided entirely by public vote. From your favourite Northern Ireland pub, club, restaurant and hotel to fashion store, media personality and sports personality – the winners are your decision.

Whilst the Awards are spreading their wings outside Belfast and changing venue and date, one thing that will not change is the spectacular style of the show-stopping red carpet event, which promises to be even better in 2012. An event not to be missed!

Hot on the heels of the runaway success of the 2010 Awards, which were hosted by Celebrity Juice star Keith Lemon and attended by an array of A-list stars – The GONGS 2012 are set to be GO’s biggest and best show yet.

Expect thrills, spills, cutting edge entertainment, a high profile host and much, much more when The GONGS touch down in their new venue, Titanic Belfast on 27th April 2012.

Voting is now open, so have your say and place your votes on thegongs.co.uk.
