Now in their 27th year, the awards are sponsored by The Sunday Times and Sky Sports and celebrate the outstanding contribution to sport made by elite performers, coaches, administrators, community volunteers and inspirational female figures.

The winners are chosen by a public vote, which closes on 11 November. The awards night on 19 November will be broadcast live on Sky Sports.

Barney Francis, Sky Sports managing director, said: “There have been some incredible individual and team performances in women’s sport this year, which made our job as judges tougher than ever.

“As well as rewarding success at the elite level, the awards recognise those individuals that put in hard work and hours every week up and down the country to support women’s sport and we were inspired by the nominations.”
