Seeking the best from the Bay
Nominations are now open for the 2022 Forsyth Barr Bay of Plenty Sports Awards. Host organisation Sport Bay of Plenty is anticipating a high calibre of nominations, following a reinvigorated domestic and international sporting calendar over the last 12 months.
Nick Chambers, Sport Bay of Plenty’s general manager for community sport and recreation, said the local sporting community had proudly represented the region at numerous tournaments this year.
He looked forward to the community coming together to celebrate that success.
“The Forsyth Barr Bay of Plenty Sports Awards is an opportunity for schools, clubs and regional sports organisations to nominate volunteers, coaches, officials and athletes from throughout the region who have achieved exceptional results in the last 12 months,” Chambers said.
The qualifying period for nominations is
October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2022. Nominations close at noon on October 8. Award categories for 2022 include junior and adult sportsman, sportswoman and disabled sportsperson of the year, teams, coach and official of the year awards, and an innovation in sport award for any individual or organisation who made a significant contribution to sport through a pioneering initiative.
Forsyth Barr Tauranga branch manager David Mcconnochie said the awards night was a great way to bring the sport and recreation community together for a night of celebration.
“We’re really excited to once again support an event that means so much to the Bay of Plenty.”
