The Scottish public have come out in force to help finalise the shortlists for the Team Scotland Scottish Sports Awards 2017 and, as voting enters the final day, now is the time to make sure your choice gets the recognition they deserve.

Thousands have already cast their vote in a poll on Facebook, run by Team Scotland in partnership with the Scottish Sun, to find the nation’s top performers as we look for our Male Athlete, Female Athlete, Para-Sport Athlete, Young Athlete and Team of the Year.

In addition to voting from a list of suggestions, there has also been a flood of nominations for other outstanding performances by Scottish athletes, clubs and teams in what has been a truly great year for Scottish sport.

If you haven’t already voted, time is running out! Make sure you nominate by 23:59 on Monday 14 August and help us find Scotland’s top sporting performers of the year!

We are also seeking nominations for Coach of the Year which can be submitted by downloading the form on our Awards Nominations page. Nominations for all categories can also be submitted in this way.

Once voting closes at 23:59 on Monday 14 August, the top nominations will be passed to our expert judging panel and up to three finalists in each category will be short-listed and invited as guests of Team Scotland to the Awards – a star-studded celebration of Scottish sport on Thursday 21 September, 2017.
