Check out the #gsport15 hashtag for more amazing messages from nominees and supporters of women’s sport about the impact the Momentum gsport Awards is making on the lives of women in sport.
What is so special about this year’s nominees list is that at least 50% are new names, grassroots sport is well represented and University sport has risen up.
The focus now moves to the judging process. We have appointed an elite judging panel, which will be announced in the coming days.
The role of the panel is to shortlist top three finalists in each category.
Finalists will be announced on Saturday, 1 August 2020.
