The Disabled Maori Sportsperson of the Year sees Foy, who competes in para-cycling, up against Leslie, competing in swimming and wheelchair rugby.
In the Maori Sports Team of the Year category, Pryor is nominated as part of the Maori All Blacks and their efforts against Japan last month.
Being recognised as individual world champions are Kerikeri's Rihari - of Ngapuhi decent - in crossfit along with Wynyard.
In the team world champions ranks, Foy is being recognised, along with Wynard and Woodman, after being part of the New Zealand women's sevens team who won the international series.
All recipients and finalists are in contention for the supreme award - Maori Sportsperson of the Year, Rongomaraeroa - in honour of Albie Pryor.
The Maori Sports Awards were originally started by Albie, who is the grandfather of Northlander Dan.
In 1991, the late Albie, of Ngati Awa, established the black-tie extravaganza to promote and encourage Maori in the pursuit of sporting excellence.
The 24th awards ceremony will be hosted by Te Tohu Taakaro o Aotearoa Charitable Trust at Auckland's Vodafone Events Centre tomorrow from 5pm.
