There are only a few days to go to nominate your sporting stars for the 2025 Isle of Wight Sports Achievements Awards.
Whether it is for a junior or senior star on pitch, track or in the pool or ocean; or a stalwart who has helped keep your club running over the years, please get your nominations in soon. The headline sponsor will again be WRS.
This year the qualification period has been changed to run broadly around the school year.
So, if you want to nominate a young athlete, a tremendous team or that person who is always there to paint the lines, make the tea or drive the bus, you can do so before 31st October.
This year the not-for-profit IW Sports Achievement Awards Ltd is running the event as it has separated from the now registered charity the Isle of Wight Sports Foundation (IWSF).
The aim of the awards will still be the same but it has moved away from the IWSF to comply with Charity Commission regulations.
Claire Beasley, chair of the new Awards company, said:
“We have already had some fabulous, inspiring nominations but there is always room for more, so please don’t leave your sporting stars in the shadows…let them bask in the glory of potentially winning one of these prestigious awards.

Sophie Jackson, chief operations officer of WRS, said:
“WRS is delighted to once again be the headline sponsor of the Isle of Wight Sports Awards.
“If you know someone who performs a t a high level, individually or as a team, make sure you put them forward for an award.”
