Hampshire and Isle of Wight Sports Awards
The winners of the 2012 Hampshire and Isle of Wight Sports Awards were revealed on Wednesday evening at an exciting Olympic themed ceremony at Southampton Football Club.
The event was presented by Kris Temple from BBC South Today, through out the evening Hampshire's potential Olympic athletes congratulated the shortlisted nominees on their achievements and tested the audience on their Olympic sporting knowledge via short videos sent in especially for the evening.It was an inspiring and fitting way to celebrate a night of exceptional sporting achievement and endeavour, a reminder of a great sporting year ahead of us.
The Hampshire and Isle of Wight Sports Awards is a joint venture between Hampshire County Council, Sport Hampshire & IOW and the local sports councils & forums in Hampshire. It has a reputation for being the only county-wide event to recognise commitment, performance and excellence across all sports.
Sport helps provide the bedrock of strong communities. It inspires dedication and determination, creates passion and pride, instils discipline and fair play, provides opportunity for fun and friendship, builds character and courage and engenders camaraderie and team spirit amongst competitors and spectators alike. The Awards harnesses all of these positive messages and celebrates everything that is good about sport.
Awards are made to elite performers as well as to stalwarts of the local sporting community – the coaches, officials and volunteers who work behind the scenes to help athletes and clubs succeed. Nominees are assessed by a judging panel and winners are required to meet criteria specific for each category.
Pictures of some of the winners are now on the Awards Results page.
