*Additional Information
Current Sport NS awards categories are currently based on the gender binary, and we recognize this could result in exclusion of some athletes with regard to awards. If you are nominating an athlete who identifies outside the gender binary, please note below - we are happy to adjust our award categories based on your feedback.  If you are able to provide information that will assist us to address the athlete nominated by their preferred means/pronouns, please do so.
