The visual theme for the awards ceremony was Harvest, inspired by folk heritage, nostalgia and an autumnal palette. The inaugural awards ceremony was hosted in front of a live audience at a packed-out Vicar Street. Three candidates were shortlisted based on their work and a statement describing how they would incorporate the heritage of Irish folk music into their design. The winner of the commission was invited to discuss their work as part of RTÉ Radio 1's Arena programme. The purpose of this competition was to promote and highlight the talent and skills of the craft and design sector, and to build a collection of unique awards that reflect the diversity of Ireland's rich talent and heritage through folk music, craft and design.

The competition invited candidates to create a series of nine commissions, one for each of the awards categories. RTÉ Radio 1 later put out a call for designers and craftspeople to design and produce the trophies for the winners at the inaugural RTÉ Radio 1 Folk Awards.
This would be held in addition to TG4's annual Gradam Ceoil awards, the premier award event in traditional Irish music. The RTÉ Radio 1 Folk Awards were to be the first dedicated folk awards held in Ireland, with nine awards categories showcasing and honouring the richness and diversity of folk music talent in Ireland.
On at a launch in Vicar Street, Dublin, RTÉ Radio 1 announced that it would host the inaugural RTÉ Radio 1 Folk Awards at Vicar Street on 25 October of that year, with the event being broadcast live on RTÉ Radio 1 on the night.
