CRITERIA for major senior or junior sportstar awards

A sportsperson is judged on their results at (in order): World, Olympic, Commonwealth, national and state level.

In other words, the highest achievement, like becoming world champion, plays more significance with judges than being nominated several times for lesser results.

For the annual awards, a panel of judges also awards runners-up and encouragement awards, as well as awards for teams, school teams, coaches and companies helping sport, based on merit.

Those eligible for the annual awards must have won a monthly award(s) during the year (except for companies). The decision of the judges is final and no correspondence can be entered into.

Please include nominee's name, age, address, photograph (where possible) and daytime phone number.

Award Categories are:

- Senior Sportstar of the year

- Junior Sportstar of the year

- Athletes with a Disability

- Masters

- Junior Team

- All Schools Team

- Senior Team

- Local Sports Club

- Local Business Champion.
