Postponed 2020 Tipperary Rose selection is back on

IT'S finally back on. The postponed 2020 Tipperary Rose Selection now goes ahead as planned on Sunday, March 13th 2022 at The Anner Hotel, Thurles - almost two years to the date it was set.

With great excitement, they are announcing the 'Reinstatement' of the 2020(22) Tipperary Rose of Tralee Selection event, originally due to take place (and then postponed) the week of the Pandemic lockdown in March 2020.

Almost two years to the day since the biggest event the Tipperary centre had ever planned was postponed, the 2020/2 Tipperary Rose selection will now be going ahead as planned on March 13th. All Tipperary Rose entrants who had entered and been published for the 2020 Tipperary selection will be going forward if they still wish. Still, also a window will be open to those who had planned to enter 2021 or 2022 before the pandemic hit. The Tipperary Rose selected night will go directly to the live TV show (with no Regional final) to represent Tipperary and enjoy the week of fun and activities in Tralee from August 19th to 23rd, 2022.

But with some important points of note:

All Tipperary Rose entrants who had entered the 2020 Tipperary selection - and who have since passed the age limit - (as a once-off) will be included for
this year selection only!
The sponsorship has been reduced.
We know that life moves on, and some of the previously published  2020 entrants have dropped out.
For fairness, and also been mindful of any entrant who had planned to enter the 2021 or 2022 years (who meet the criteria and couldn't enter because of the pandemic), they will be allowed the opportunity to re-enter this year's selection only. Tthis will be confined to a two-week window of application (closing date February 26th) to allow th opportunity for anyone as such the final chance to enter as soon as possible - www.roseoftralee.ie

As such, changes of entrants may cross over so that they will be reissuing the previous PR and social media coverage over the next few weeks so please bear with them as they do and be mindful of the Rose entrants' privacy as any changes or mistakes from old posts may happen due to this.

It's been a hard two years for everyone but also for the Rose entrants (but who had this event push out numerous times, but they have been supported by the Tipperary Rose centre team and their original sponsors, so there is heightened excitement for the event to take place after such a length of time finally. Laura Durkan, the reigning Tipperary Rose of Tralee, can't believe it's been almost four years since her selection night (due to the previous changes) but is both happy and sad to hand over the sash after the period of time, but excited for thing to be getting back to normal.

They look forward to welcoming the public to show their support and finally having some fun at the Gala selection event on Sunday, March 13th 2022, at The Anner Hotel, Thurles.
