Nominations will close on 15 May 2026, so entries need to be submitted before the deadline.
There are several award categories, such as:
Sportsperson of the Year
Junior Sportsperson of the Year
Coach of the Year
Volunteer of the Year
Sports Organisation of the Year
Technical Official of the Year
Recreation or Grassroots Programme of the Year

The municipality says the awards are meant to celebrate local talent, encourage young people to take part in sport, and promote healthy lifestyles. It also hopes the event will bring communities together and support the growth of sport in the region.
Nomination forms can be found online or collected from municipal offices in Durban. The awards are expected to become an annual event that highlights sporting excellence in eThekwini.
