Get ready to celebrate the game-changers of student sport! The Sports Awards shine a spotlight on the athletes, teams, and coaches who’ve gone above and beyond this year.
Any person, team or club can be nominated and anyone can nominate – you don’t have to be a committee member! Nominations will be assessed for their quality, not the quantity of nominations an individual receives. These should contain as much detail as possible, outlining why the nominated individual/team/club should win the award and should be written independently without influence or collaboration. Any duplicate or "copy and paste" nominations will unfortunately be disregarded.
Join us as we recognise the dedication, the victories (both big and small), and the legends who make student sport what it is. Who’s taking home the glory this year? Find out on 2 April in the Old Library! Nominations close on Wednesday 19th March, 4pm.
