Why nominate?

We fully appreciate that our sport relies on the efforts of volunteers. Without them we would struggle to host as many fantastic events for our members and newcomers to come and try out the sport for the first time. 

Our aim behind hosting these annual awards is to highlight and recognise those working incredibly hard behind the scenes to keep our sport going. It's their time to shine in the spotlight and receive the appreciation they deserve – please don't forget to nominate!

What happens once you nominate

Nominations are sent to a panel who review and make a collective decision on the winner of each award. Winners of each award are then notified and invited to attend the awards presentation on Day 1 of the JK 2025 festival. After the event, we will announce the award winners across all categories and the following week(s) we will be releasing blogs to announce the individual winners with some feedback from their nominators. 

Let's get together and recognise our volunteers! Thank you for nominating in our annual awards.
