AS YOU MIGHT have noticed, TheJournal.ie turned five years old this month – and we wanted to mark it in style.

There we are now Anna O'Rourke Anna O'Rourke

Readers have always been at the centre of everything we do here, so we thought it was only fair to give something more back as part of our birthday shenanigans. So for the month of October, we’re giving away a prize every single day.

The prizes range from hotel breaks to vouchers to a family trip to Lapland and we’ve been receiving literally thousands of entries every day, so massive congrats to the winners, whose names you can see below.

This is our way of saying thanks to you all. When the site went live in October 2010, there were just six of us in a tiny room. Now we’re one of the biggest news websites in Ireland with a staff of almost 60 (and growing!). Here’s to the next five years (and the five after that, and the five after that, and the five after that…).
