The awards are open to volunteers from all sports and aim to unearth the real sporting heroes throughout the province. The judges are looking for the people whose drive, energy and passion keeps sports clubs and societies at the heart of the local community.

The awards will run province-wide, focused through 12 branches of Hughes Insurance and each location will have a winner when voting closes on 1 April 2013 and the decisions are made by a sporting judging panel.
