“The 2023 ceremony was a fantastic evening and – as we do every year – we’ll be trying to top it this time around!

“Sport is vital in our communities and comes with a myriad of benefits to people’s physical and mental health, and Aberdeen sporting success stories – at local level or on the world stage – must be celebrated.

“Get nominating – and I hope to see many of you there to celebrate with us at P&J Live on March 7.”

Bounty Competitions’ Leanne and Calvin Davidson said: “We are delighted to be sponsoring Aberdeen Sports Awards.
