Sport Industry Awards 2021: The Categories
The Sport Industry Awards 2021 has officially opened for entries, marking a period of continued excellence and, importantly, new evolution within the sport industry.
This year, the Sport Industry Awards 2021 seeks a more hopeful, vibrant and inclusive industry, and the categories echo this.
We’ve taken a quick look at each of the 14 categories below to give you a flavour of what they’re all about…
An award for those who’ve helped us stay physically and mentally healthy, those who kept us fit and kept us going. Whether that be lunging in front of our TVs, tying the laces on our running shoes, or cycling through the Alps from our lounges, or more.
The one they all want to win. The ultimate agency gong for those who have delivered, for their clients, for their teams, and for the industry. It’s been a challenging year to say the least, this is each agency’s chance to show how they adapted and pushed forward.
BRAND OR SPONSOR OF THE YEAR in association with Wiggin
This is for all those using sport as the incredible platform it is in new, innovative and exciting ways to cement themselves within their target audiences.
CAMPAIGN OF THE YEAR in association with YouGov Sport
Changed minds? Wowed audiences? Built communities? If you got your message out there in the biggest and best way possible, this is the award for you.
The one for the directors who strive for perfection, the creatives who pore over every pixel, or the producers who pull it all together. If your creative content work wowed the industry, it belongs here.
CUTTING EDGE AWARD in association with PT SportSuite
The one for the gamechangers. Those who’ve gone beyond themselves, broken new boundaries, thought differently or brought in new ideas or technology.
DATA & BUSINESS IMPACT AWARD in association with Sportradar
The one for the number crunchers and the impact they have, this is all about how the data has been applied to build and/or deliver business opportunities.
No bums on seats? No problem… This is the one for those who have kept their fanbase engaged, interested and active in the hardest of circumstances.
INTERNATIONAL CREATIVITY AWARD
A new global award for those setting new creative standards, challenging the way we think. From multinationals to independents, if you’ve done work differently anywhere in the world, you’ll want to enter this.
The handshake category – if handshakes were allowed. If by working together – whether through sponsorship, a clever collaboration or special relationship – you’ve created more success than working alone ever could’ve done, this one’s for you.
Celebrating the biggest new medium, this is for those who’ve kept us entertained, inquisitive and engaged. If your reviews are glowing and your subscribers keep growing, this one’s for you.
TESSA JOWELL COMMUNITY AWARD in association with Aberdeen Standard Investments
The sport for good award – simple as that.
In the hardest of times, sport’s ingenuity shone through: if, despite the odds, you managed to deliver your sporting event, in whichever way you could, this one’s for you.
The wonderkid award. For those who are in the early stages of a special journey but are delivering at the highest level already. A rite of passage and a matter of pride – a special recognition.
