Now in their 20th year, The Sunday Times Sportswomen of the Year awards, in
association with Sony Ericsson, celebrate the outstanding contribution made
by women in a variety of different areas to British sporting life.
The Awards are not restricted solely to the superstars who win medals at major
championships or break world records, but include administrators who work
tirelessly behind the scenes, PE teachers whose own passion encourages a
lifelong attachment to sport among their pupils, and coaches who, often
unpaid and unrecognised, nurture the talent of our next generation of
athletes.
In addition to the eight categories we invite you to nominate in (which are
listed below), a Lifetime Achievement Award and Overseas Sportswoman of the
Year Award, sponsored by Sony Ericsson, will be selected by the judging
panel to be presented on the day.
This is your chance to celebrate the achievements of women participating and
involved in sport over the past 12 months.
The awards open for nominations are:
Team of the Year
Celebrating the achievements of Britain’s most successful teams
Unsung Hero Award
For coaches, administrators and people working behind the scenes who make a
difference, at all levels of sport
PE Teacher of the Year
