Vote now for the 2016 Women’s Sport Trust #BeAGameChanger Awards
The public voting has opened for the 2016 #BeAGameChanger Awards organised by the Women’s Sport Trust. The finalists have been selected by an expert panel and now it’s your chance to make a difference by voting for your favourites.
The awards, now in their second year, are designed to showcase the incredible talent from across women’s sport, and to highlight the need for media, sponsors and the public to invest at all levels.
Last year’s event recognised the likes of Nicola Adams MBE, Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson and BBC Sport for their contributions, with Clare Balding as key note speaker. This year’s awards, sponsored by software giant Microsoft, promise to be even bigger and better.
