Nomination Process 

 

 

How to Nominate a

Great Athlete, Coach or Builder of Sport

The Sports Hall of Recognition committee does not nominate potential inductees.  Instead nomination packages must come from individuals or organizations in the community.  Nominations are scored by a subcommittee.

If applicants receive 85 points or greater, they are recommended to the full committee for induction.  Up to four individuals may be chosen for induction each year.  Provincial winning teams are no longer being nominated for induction.  Teams that won from 1900 to 2000 are being included in a permanent display at the Sports Hall.   Since 2001, Provincial winning teams are recognized at council or at the Parade of champions, held during the Norfolk county Fair.

It is very important for a nomination to include the following information:

  • Years of Service or involvement in Sport

  • Level of Service or competition (community, district, provincial, national international)

  • Other awards won

  • Documentation to support the nomination (newspaper articles, magazines, professional trade magazines, sport newsletters)

  • Photos of the individual in action

  • References – at least 2

  • How has the applicant given back to the community

Nominees must meet the following criteria:
