Team Scotland and sportscotland are delighted to reveal the shortlists for The Scottish Sports Awards 2022.
In a year packed with success at the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games, Commonwealth Games and other events at home and abroad, the competition will be fierce for the top awards
The winner of the Female, Male, Para- athlete, Team and Young Athlete categories will contest for the overall title of Scotland’s Sportsperson of the Year.
We will also welcome the latest inductee to the Scottish Sports Hall of Fame.
The Scottish Sports Hall of Fame was established in 2002 to recognise and honour the many great champions this country has produced. It has delivered on that ambition, enabling us to celebrate the achievements of Scotland’s finest athletes and role models and the impact they have had on subsequent generations.
The Hall of Fame stands as a tribute to the champions of the past. The Scottish Sports Hall of Fame will now be incorporated into The Scottish Sports Awards.
For more details on the Scottish Sports Hall of Fame and the inductees you can visit the new Hall of Fame website.
Held at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre, guests will be treated to live entertainment and a three-course meal, as well as rubbing shoulders with the great and the good of Scottish Sport.
Proceeds from the night will be donated to the Team Scotland Youth Trust.
