The Edinburgh Sports Awards look to recognise and reward the contribution to sport being made by local clubs, individuals and volunteers in the city. Your nominations are vital and with your help we can champion those clubs, coaches and volunteers who have made a real difference in the community.

An exciting new development for this year is that all shortlisted coaches will automatically be entered into the national Sportscotland coaching awards.

All shortlisted nominees will be invited to the Edinburgh Sports Awards evening on 28th October 2011.
