2012 World Rowing Awards

In a press release, FISA, the International Rowing Federation, announces that public nominations are open for the 2012 World Rowing Awards, and it continues:

This is a chance for the general public to have their say in who they believe had an outstanding performance in rowing in 2012 and who they would like nominate for the 2012 World Rowing Awards.

Nominations can be made in the following award categories:
World Rowing Coach of the Year
World Rowing Male Crew of the Year
World Rowing Female Crew of the Year
World Rowing Adaptive Crew of the Year
World Rowing Distinguished Service to International Rowing Medal

One nomination can be submitted for each award category. A crew can also be an individual rower in a single boat.

Once all of the nominations have been received the next stage will be a review by the FISA Council who will select the finalists. The finalists will then go to FISA's Executive Committee who will select the winners in the four categories by 15 October 2012.
