"We're urging our sport communities not to miss out on the opportunity to nominate someone they know whose sporting achievements deserve recognition, and to come along on the night and join us in supporting and celebrating these achievements."
Tickets will be available for purchase from Monday, October 12, at the Sport Whanganui office, 40 Maria Place Extension.
The tickets are $60 each, or $30 each for nominees. Tickets for a table of 10 people can be bought for $550.
The event will also feature the annual induction of members to the "Wanganui Sports Hall of Fame" (where the region's past outstanding sports achievers are acknowledged), and the "Sport Whanganui Roll of Honour", which recognises volunteers who have contributed 25-plus years of service to the region's sports.
Last year's event attracted about 100 nominations. This is the 52nd year the Wanganui Sports Awards has been held.
Organiser Sport Whanganui is a charitable trust working to develop, build and promote sport in the Whanganui, Rangitikei and Ruapehu districts.
