Nominations are now open for the Sporting Equals Awards 2023 that aims to “recognise the hard work and dedication of ethnically diverse players, coaches, and organisations within the sports sector”.

Sporting Equals is accepting nominations for a number of categories including England Athletics Coach of the Year, British Army Community Champion of the Year, Community Sports Project of the Year, UK Sport Rising Star of the Year, Sportswoman of the Year, Sportsman of the Year, and Youth Sport Trust Young Sportsperson of the Year.

The Awards will take place on 21 October 2023, during Black History Month, at the Royal Lancaster Hotel, London, and will be hosted by comedian and TV personality, Judi Love.

Sporting Equals is an organisation that exists to promote ethnic diversity across sport and physical activity, and is the only organisation in the UK to do so.

Originally set up in 1998 by Sport England, in partnership with the Commission for Racial Equality, Sporting Equals is now a fully independent body and a national partner of Sport England.
