The aim of the Harlow Sports Awards is to celebrate and recognise local sporting talent and achievements in the Harlow area. The awards are nominated by members of the public and organised by Harlow Council.
The event last took place in 2016 and was a big success with over 100 nominations being received and former Arsenal Ladies, England and Team GB captain, now Manchester United Ladies Football Manager, Casey Stoney being the guest speaker.
The 2018 event promises to be bigger and better than ever, with the support of our partners Phoenix Live, who are helping organise the event, and Decathlon Harlow who will be providing some prizes.
This year's event will be held at the Council Chamber at the Civic Centre on the evening of 22 November 2018. There will be a reception with entertainment from Phoenix Live and canapes being provided by Skylight Restaurant in the Gibberd Gallery before the event.
Nominations for the 2018 Harlow Sports Awards closed on 14 October.
