Are you a team that prepares the playing field for athletes to reach heights? The Manorama Sports Club Award is once again in recognition of the community’s contribution to Kerala’s glorious sporting heritage by discovering local sports. The awards, presented by Manorama in collaboration with the Santa Monica Study Abroad, are for clubs and academies that are jumping together on the track of athletic achievement.
The first place club will get Rs 3 lakh and the ‘Manorama Sports Club’ award. The second and third place clubs will receive a trophy and a cash prize of Rs 2 lakh and Rs 1 lakh respectively. Due to Kovid, the sports world did not announce the awards in 2020 at the lockdown. Therefore, this time the awards are given based on the performance in the years 2020 and 2021.
Malayala Manorama, Manorama News TV, Manorama Online and Radio Mango have teamed up to select the winners.
Who can apply?
Clubs and academies in Kerala recognized by the State Government or related sports organizations can apply for the award along with their registration number. Clubs and academies operating under the supervision and financial assistance of the Central and State Governments are not considered. The main criteria for the award is performance over the past 2 years.
How to send application
Prepare the application by including the club address, office bearers, major sporting achievements, brief description of the club, details of non-sporting activities, description of district, state and international players from the club, and club registration number. Images can be added if available (no special application form).
How is the award decided?
Based on the information provided by the clubs and academies, an expert panel appointed by Manorama will identify 6 clubs in the first phase. The second step is to go directly to each club and evaluate the activity. The first, second and third place winners will be announced by a panel of experts based on their outstanding performance over the past two years and their contribution to the field of sports in previous years. The decision of the committee consisting of prominent figures in the sport is final.
