The GMA has decided to not hold the GMA (previously IOG) Awards
again this year as everyone recovers from the grip of the pandemic.
The organisers said it would be unfair to judge teams based on the challenging
circumstances over the past year, and the GMA also acknowledged that it takes
significant resource to submit applications for teams and individuals.
CEO Geoff Webb said: “We’re certainly keen to celebrate the contribution of
all grounds staff, volunteers and businesses – which is why we decided to launch
#GroundsWeek in support of the sector and all the efforts involved.”
The GMA has previously confirmed that the #GroundsWeek campaign will run
annually, with the next date confirmed as February 28 to March 6 2022.
“We believe that the awards are an integral part of grounds management
and the GMA itself, and are working hard to renew and relaunch ready for 2022
submissions,” added Geoff Webb.
