SPONSORS are already coming in for the 2016 Herefordshire & Worcestershire Sports Awards which will again take place at Worcester Warriors’ Sixways home.
The awards, which will take place on Wednesday, November 9, are a celebration of sporting talent and achievement and mark the contributions of individuals, schools and groups across the two counties.
Bullivant Media – publisher of the Bromsgrove Standard – is sponsoring the headline Sports Personality of the Year award for the third year in succession.
It is the 15th anniversary of the awards and to mark the milestone organisers are thrilled to enhance the categories to include the BBC Power of Sport Award.
This honour will recognise an individual who has significantly changed and improved their life through adopting a more active lifestyle. This could be either physically, socially, psychologically, through personal development or any combination.
Sports School of the Year is a new award which will reward a school (primary, first, middle, secondary or high) which has made significant contribution to increasing participation amongst their pupils.
They may have raised their school profile, launched targeted projects, participated in sporting events or engaged with the community.
Other sponsors confirmed so far are University of Worcester sponsoring the Junior Female of the Year and Disabled Sportsperson of the Year awards, Scimitar, Rivers Fitness and latest sponsor Modus Creative which is backing the Senior Male Sportsperson of the Year award.
There are still plenty of categories available for sponsorship along with opportunities for headline sponsorship which include:
Sports School of the Year; Community Coach of the Year; Volunteer of the Year; Young Volunteer of the Year; Senior Female Sportsperson of the Year; Junior Male Sportsperson of the Year; Community Club of the Year; Junior Team of the Year; Community Project of the Year; Unsung Hero.
