A total of thirty-two finalists have made it through with winners of each category to be announced at the inaugural SP Sports Awards at Crowne Plaza Hotel on the 28th of this month.
In addition, finalists have been identified under 11 categories with a People’s Choice Award to be presented to the finalist with the highest number of votes.
President of the PNG Olympic Committee, Sir John Dawanicura congratulated all the finalists for working hard throughout the year and further mentioned that success only comes through hard work.
“Discipline, commitment and dedication by the finalists have helped them get to where they are now.”
“I take this time to congratulate the finalists for making it through and commend them for their hard work which has got them recognized through the SP Sports Awards,” Sir Dawanicura said.
Sir Dawanicura said sports is part of human development and through sports, there is also a sense of national pride and unity.
