The 2018 Dundee Sports Awards took place at the Caird Hall on Wednesday 20 February 2019. Leisure and Sport were once again delighted to have organised and hosted this fantastic event which recognises and rewards the outstanding achievements within Dundee’s Sporting Community. Almost 300 people attended the awards which were opened by an excellent display from Spartans Gymnastics Display Team, 2016 semi-finalists on Britain’s Got Talent. The crowd were also entertained by Leisure & Sports very own Urban Moves Dance Company and guest performers Addicted2Dance.
2018 saw quality nominations across all 12 categories, quite possibly the highest standard ever received at the Sports Awards, providing our judging panel with a few difficult decisions. This has only highlighted the depth of sporting talent and commitment from athletes, coaches, officials and volunteers in the city, placing Dundee firmly on the sporting map.
Many of the nominees were more than worthy of receiving an award with Scottish, British, European and World champions and National record holders amongst their ranks. There can be, however, no doubting the quality, dedication and achievements of our eventual winners.
We are now accepting nominations for the 2019 Dundee Sports Awards, generously sponsored by XPLORE Dundee. The Award Ceremony itself will once more take place at the Caird hall on Wednesday 19 February 2020.
