BC Athletics announces our annual awards program, celebrating the outstanding achievements and contributions of our members during 2025. These awards, to be presented in 2026, recognize excellence across our entire community: athletes, coaches, officials, club leaders and volunteers. We will once again celebrate our award recipients through online platforms and our newsletter, beginning in mid January 2026.
Athlete Performance Awards (Selected by Working Group)
All athlete performance awards will be selected by a working group. Please do not submit nominations for these performance-based awards. If, in the judgment of the selection committee, no nominee demonstrates the exceptional standard of excellence required, BC Athletics reserves the right not to present an award in that category for the 2025 season.
Must be a 2025 member of BC Athletics.
Awards will be structured across U16, U18, U20, U23, Senior, Masters, and Para Categories
Nomination-Based Contribution Awards
We encourage you to nominate deserving individuals for our contribution-based awards. Please read more in the descriptions link.
All nominees must be 2025 members of BC Athletics.
