SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS: Each Submission must include an online written submission explaining why the individual nominated is deserving of this award.

WINNER SELECTION: A panel of judges (the “Judges”) will review the Submissions based on the following weighted judging criteria: (A) The individual who made the most significant positive difference in their youth sports community or most enhanced the lives of youth athletes [75%], and (B) The individual whose action showed the most courage and inspiration [25%].  The one (1) Submission that achieves the highest overall scores from the Judges will be awarded the Prize. In the event of a tie, the Submission among the tied entries with the highest score from the Judges in “courage and inspiration” will be deemed the winner.

CONDITIONS OF PARTICIPATION:  Prize is not transferable. Taxes on Prize are sole responsibility of winner.
