Preston Sports Awards make a welcome return
and live on Freeview channel 276
Applications are now open for the Preston Sports Awards 2022. In light of the global Covid-19 pandemic the 2022 Sports Awards will be delivered in a slightly different manner.
The difficult decision to not hold the annual in-person awards presentation has been made in order to take stock what has been achieved over the last 16 years, carry out a review and then after consultation with members adequately plan for what the 2023 event will look like.

Nominees must be either from a Preston Sports Club or an individual that resides in, or represents a club in Preston.
The Preston Sports Awards panel will identify a winner in each category, award a trophy and progress your nomination as the Preston winner to the Lancashire Active Community Awards 2022, which will take place later in the year.
Pete Mason, chair of Preston Sports Forum, said ‘It’s fantastic to be able to once again host the Preston Sports Awards for 2022, even if it is in a different guise for this year.
