Nominations are still open for the Isle of Wight Sports Awards 2023.
From the people who make Isle of Wight sport tick through their brilliant volunteering efforts, to the young stars of tomorrow, there will be a category you can nominate someone in.
There are categories for junior and adult individuals, as well as for schools and clubs.
The winners will be announced at an awards ceremony at Medina Theatre on Thursday, March 21, but the pressing deadline is midnight on January 14, 2024, when nominations close.
So, if your club is a member of the Isle of Wight Sports Foundation, which runs the awards, get your thinking caps on about who you want to nominate this year.
Claire Beasley, chairman of the IW Sports Foundation, said: “This is such a super evening, every year we are amazed at the quality of the entries and the sheer breadth of talent the Isle of Wight has across the sporting spectrum.”
All finalists and their nominators will be invited to the big night. The nominations will be judged by an independent panel.
Claire added: “We can only accept nominations from our members. This applies to individuals, sports clubs and schools, so if you aren’t already a member you will need to join first. Membership only costs £10 per year and runs from January to December.
“We are always grateful for the sponsorships that allow us to run the awards and look forward to greeting our sponsors on the awards night.”
