Nominations are now open for the 2014 awards.
There are five categories you can enter, said the Rotary Club-Gazette Sports Awards co-ordinator, Rotarian Raelene Monkley.
"I encourage all sports people to apply. There will be cash prizes for our junior and senior winners," she said.
"Our local area has produced some exceptional sporting people over the years."
