The Awards celebrate the outstanding contribution to sport made by elite performers, coaches, administrators, community volunteers and inspirational female figures. Previous winners of the main Sportswoman of the Year award include Paula Radcliffe, Sally Gunnell, Denise Lewis, Dame Kelly Holmes, Zara Phillips and Victoria Pendleton.

Jessica Ennis-Hill, the London 2012 Olympic heptathlon champion, was crowned the overall winner last November.

“The Sunday Times Sportswomen of the Year Awards have grown in stature since the launch in 1988 and are unique,” said Alex Butler, the Sunday Times Sports Editor. “However, with Sky Sports now involved as co-sponsor and broadcaster, the event has moved to a new level.

“The achievements of British women in sport in 2013 have been phenomenal. Over the coming months – in print in The Sunday Times and on air with Sky Sports – we will celebrate those achievements.”

The Award ceremony will be held on the evening of Thursday 5 December and will be broadcast live on Sky.
