Do you know a SportMaker?

Sport NI has launched its quest to celebrate the unsung heroes of sport through the annual SportMaker awards. These awards  awards celebrate the unsung heroes of sport in Northern Ireland- the coaches, volunteers and officials who work tirelessly behind the scenes to make sport happen. 

Nominations for the SportMaker awards are now open. The awards give the sporting community the opportunity to showcase their achievements and give special thanks to coaches, officials and volunteers.

Sport NI Chair George Lucas said: “Our SportMaker Awards acknowledge the incredible work of our sporting community and highlight the outstanding people and projects that have made an impact over the last year. We know there are many unsung sporting heroes out there who work tirelessly behind the scenes to help enrich people’s lives through the power of sport. If you know a SportMaker, please nominate them today!”

Nominations are open now until 9 October, 2023, with 11 award categories recognising achievement at all levels of sports participation, from grassroots through to high performance.
