This award is a joint initiative of the Malta Sports Journalists Association and Atlas Insurance. The adjudicating panel of this award takes note of all the youths’ national and interna‐ tional achievements of the month under review, and at the same time, it invites local sport associations and federations to send in their nominations for consideration if they feel that any of their under‐21 athletes have distinguished themselves during that month. All the monthly winners are eligible for the annual award.
