We have made a few small changes to the FEI Awards process and we are now asking you and the wider FEI Family to nominate your heroes. As you are actively involved in the sport, your input is vital in order to ensure that we cover the depth and breadth of the equestrian landscape and recognise the exceptional individuals and organisations that make the equestrian community so unique!
The nomination phase – which is open exclusively to the FEI Family – runs until 31 August. Following the nomination phase, the FEI Executive Board will shortlist the entries, which will then be presented to a DISTINGUISHED PANEL OF JUDGES and for the first time ever the PUBLIC will be invited to vote from 18 to 30 September on www.fei.org.
If you want your heroes to have the chance of being celebrated for all their hard work, commitment, dedication and achievements, please NOMINATE NOW on www.feiawards.org in one or all of the five categories below:
Longines Rising Star
Best Athlete
Best Groom
Against All Odds
