NOMINATIONS are now open for the 2018 East Hampshire District Sports Awards.
The awards recognise sportsmen and women at every level, as well as the coaches, officials and volunteers who help them succeed.
The deadline for nominations is January 5, 2018, with finalists invited to an awards evening, hosted by ITV’s Fred Dinenage, on Thursday, February 15, 2018, at Old Thorns Manor Hotel in Liphook.
The winners of the district awards will be put forward to compete for the 2018 Energise Me Hampshire and Isle of Wight Sports Awards.
Nominees are assessed by a judging panel and winners are required to meet criteria specific for each category.
East Hampshire District Council’s portfolio holder for customer service Cllr Julie Butler said: “If you know of anyone from East Hampshire that has excelled in their sporting environment over the last year then it is important to nominate them for an East Hampshire Sports Award.
“This is a fantastic evening of celebration that I look forward to every year. It gives us the opportunity to give these athletes, coaches, volunteers and officials the recognition they deserve.
“We are lucky to have a vast array of talent across a variety of sports in East Hampshire and we look forward to rewarding those who give hours of dedication to be successful or support others to be successful.”
