2023 KZN SPORT AWARDS NOMINATIONS

Dear Stakeholder, 

We are in motion for the 2023 KZN Sport Awards. The KZN Sport Awards are hosted and presented in partnership with the KwaZulu-Natal Sport Confederation. The Awards recognize and acknowledge the successes and commitment of athletes, teams, coaches, administrators, volunteers, technical officials, media personnel and sport and recreation bodies, during the awards qualification period. This year’s qualification period for 2023 is for 09 August 2022 to 09 August 2023.

The 2023 KZN Sport Awards Rulebook provides detailed information on all the categories for the awards, together with the criteria that will be used when adjudicating. It is a requirement for sport and recreation federations and bodies to submit nominations on behalf of their top performers for the Awards.  All applications are subject to the scrutiny of an independent panel of judges derived from media houses as well as those representing the sporting industry. An independent auditing firm will also audit the adjudication process.
