For over 20 years we have recognized the sporting achievements of Dunfermline & West Fife athletes from Regional Champions to National and Olympic and Paralympic Champions.

Currently eight categories of award, for teams, coaches, administrators, masters, schools and individual athletes are offered.

Nominations can be made by clubs, individuals and the general public and our Publicity and Events Sub Committee trawl the past years local papers to identify possible candidates. A neutral panel of local sports experts makes the final selection which, like the Oscars, are not announced until the evening of the ceremony which this year took place on Wednesday 24th February 2010.

The Awards for 2009 saw approximately 160 invited guests attend the ceremony in the Glen Pavilion where a Powerpoint Presentation displayed some of the nominees achievements before the winners were announced.

A distinguished group of guests participated in the presentations the recipients of which were as follows:
