You have until 27th January to nominate your sporting hero for The 2012 Hampshire and Isle of Wight Sports Awards.
The Hampshire and Isle of Wight Sports Awards is a joint venture between Hampshire County Council, Sport Hampshire and IOW and the local sports councils and forums in Hampshire.
It has a reputation for being the only county-wide event to recognise commitment, performance and excellence across all sports.
Bedrock of strong communities
Sport helps provide the bedrock of strong communities. It inspires dedication and determination, creates passion and pride, instils discipline and fair play, provides opportunity for fun and friendship, builds character and courage and engenders camaraderie and team spirit amongst competitors and spectators alike.
The Awards harnesses all of these positive messages and celebrates everything that is good about sport.
Elites and stalwarts
Awards are made to elite performers as well as to stalwarts of the local sporting community – the coaches, officials and volunteers who work behind the scenes to help athletes and clubs succeed.
Nominees are assessed by a judging panel and winners are required to meet criteria specific for each category.
Make your nomination before 27th January. The Awards ceremony takes place on 21 March at Southampton Football Club.
