The FEI Awards 2023 are underway and we need YOU to help us by nominating YOUR heroes. We would love to know who really impressed you in 2023? Can you think of an exceptional groom, a distinguished athlete or a young talent the world needs to see? Has a Solidarity or development project caught your eye? Is there an individual which has inspired you with their determination?
Award categories:
For 2023 we have decided to shine a brighter spotlight on one of our categories by renaming the FEI Against All Odds award category to FEI Inspire. With an increasingly positive feel, this category broadens its horizon to reach any member of the equestrian community who serves as an inspiration to others and contributes to their environment in a positive way.
The FEI Awards provide us with a platform to say thank you for being an important and integral part of our community. Established in 2009, the FEI Awards celebrate individuals and organisations that are making an outstanding contribution to the progress and excellence of equestrian sport, both in and outside the arena. Since 2017 the voting system is based 50% on the public vote via https://www.fei.org/awards/ and 50% on the judges' panel, a hugely successful combination allowing us to receive numerous votes every year since. And of course, this year, we have even greater targets to meet and will be promoting the shortlisted nominees EVERYWHERE. Become a part of this success by letting us know who you believe deserves to be shortlisted for the FEI Awards 2023.
When, what, how…
The shortlisted nominees will be presented to the public vote from 11 to 22 October (worth 50%) as well as an exclusive panel of judges (worth 50%). The lucky winners will then be flown to the FEI Awards Gala presented by Longines, in Mexico City (MEX), for an evening filled with glitz and glam where we will celebrate their achievements together.
The nomination phase closes on Sunday 24 September at midnight, so please take the time and have your say! You might just make someone’s day.
Remember, by nominating a person (or an organisation), you not only make their day, you also acknowledge and reward their dedication to equestrian sport – and should they be shortlisted, you will actively raise their profile, their visibility, and with it that of the global equestrian community!
Don’t miss out, have your say and give your heroes a chance!
