Two new award categories are up for grabs in the upcoming Grande Prairie Regional Sport Connection’s Northwest Alberta Sport Excellence Awards.
The Outstanding Junior Official Award is meant to recognize young officials who worked to develop and grow their respective sports in the community, and the ASE recognizes athletes, teams, or coaches who showcased “outstanding” performances during the 2023 year.
To be eligible for the ASE, athletes, coaches, and teams are required to meet the criteria for the Athlete/Coach/Team of the Year award category, alongside active participation in eligible competitions.
Karna Germsheid, Executive Director of Grande Prairie Regional Sport Connection says recognition in the ASE is not guaranteed, which “emphasizes” the difficulty of the achievement.
Nominations for both awards are open and the Grande Prairie Regional Sport Connection is encouraging community members to participate in recognizing outstanding individuals whose contributions have affected sports in Northwest Alberta.
