Sports Personality of the Year: World Sport Star 2021 - terms and conditions
- Published
This award goes to the world sport star whose sporting achievements have most captured the public's imagination during 2021.
The award is not open to those sportspeople who qualify for the main BBC Sports Personality of the Year award under its qualification criteria (see above).
The Panel will put forward a shortlist of contenders for this award.
The public will decide the winner from the shortlist of contenders prior to the main show with an online vote. This will be overseen by an independent adjudicator.
In the unlikely event of a tie in the online vote amongst the two contenders obtaining the highest number of votes, the award will be shared amongst those two.
The vote will open on the 6th December 2021 at 8am and close on the 14th December at 1pm.
The winner will be announced either in advance of, or during the live programme on Sunday 19th December 2021.
