We are excited to launch the nominations for the 19th annual Lincolnshire Sport & Physical Activity Awards.

The annual awards celebrate amazing stories across eleven different categories. Each award showcases the positive impact physical activity has on people’s lives, as well as providing a chance to recognise individuals, volunteers, sports clubs, schools, communities, organisations and businesses who actively contribute to the health and wellbeing of Lincolnshire and use physical activity to support positive change.

For 2023, Active Lincolnshire are adding in two new categories to the awards; the Active Achievement Award, which celebrates a specific outstanding achievement, from fundraising challenges to elite sporting success, and the Active Event Award which recognises events of any size that encourage people to move more.

Emma Tatlow, CEO of Active Lincolnshire said:

“We are delighted to open nominations for the Lincolnshire Sport & Physical Activity Awards 2023. The awards are a celebration of the amazing work individuals, groups and organisations across the county are doing to support local residents to enjoy the benefits of being active, as well as shining a light on the inspirational personal achievements of people using sport and activity to transform their own lives. They’re a chance to say thank you to volunteers and staff, who go above and beyond to help others to have opportunities to be active on a regular basis. We hear so many fantastic and inspiring examples from a diverse range of individuals, groups and organisations who have gone above and beyond to help keep people in Lincolnshire moving at the awards. And it is also an opportunity to highlight the impact and importance of the sport, physical activity and leisure sector.”

Nominations for the 2023 awards will be open until Monday 31st July. Following this an independent panel of judges will choose the finalists for each category and winners will be announced at the award ceremony in early November. Each finalist will receive two free tickets to the awards and be able to celebrate their achievements with hundreds of other Lincolnshire locals at this inspiring, feel-good event.
