RVA Sports Awards

Presented by Rosie's Gaming Emporium and
Colonial Downs Racetrack

A sports-centric region honors its best

Richmond is a region known for sports! In celebration of those who bring their best to the game and to the region, Richmond Region Tourism Foundation presents the first RVA Sports Awards. This area-wide awards show will recognize those athletes and leaders who have made a major impact on their community through sports. The show will also include the national Power of Sport Award, which will go to an individual who is creating significant societal impact through sports.

Thanks to the determination and dedication of our local teams and individuals, the RVA Sports Awards will show the world that Richmond is the region of champions – a place where the healthy values of sports are lived every day.

You can help by nominating a sports leader, athlete or team for this year’s awards. Nominations are open until December 1. 2021.

Sponsorships are now being accepted, and tickets and tables for the RVA Sports Awards show on February 5, 2022 are available for purchase here.

All proceeds from the RVA Sports Awards show will benefit the Richmond Region Tourism (RRT) Foundation’s Sports Tourism Grant Program presented by Richmond Association of Realtors. Here’s to a winning awards show – and to a first-place performance by our entire sports community!
