The 2024 World Rowing Awards ceremony – join the celebration!

Alongside the annual Seville-Betis Regatta, Region Andalucía and the City of Seville will welcome the next three editions of the annual World Rowing Awards. Exceptional talent will be honoured and awarded live on stage in a festive evening environment, in an iconic location in the city centre of Seville.

The 2024 World Rowing Awards ceremony, set to be held on Saturday, 9 November 2024, will see three new awards being introduced.

• The “Rowing Destination of the Year” award, to recognize impactful Rowing destinations worldwide, that offer exemplary Rowing conditions, actively promote and support the sport through events, community engagement, and cultural integration.
• The “Rowing Programme of the Year” award, underscoring World Rowing’s commitment to expanding the international Rowing community, involving clubs, schools and universities more deeply, and highlighting their crucial role in developing the sport.
• The “Artistic Contribution o the Year” award, highlighting the intersection of athleticism and creativity, celebrating works that may include visual arts, music, literature, still or moving images, or any other artistic medium that reflects the spirit and beauty of Rowing.

The nominations for these three new awards will open on Saturday, 17 August with further detail to follow.

In addition, and to recognise the growth of the Coastal and Indoor Rowing disciplines, the nomination and selection panels for the existing World Rowing Awards will be amended. The “Men’s Crew of the Year”, “Women’s Crew of the Year”, “Para Crew of the Year” and “Coach of the Year” awards will have an expanded representation.

The “Distinguished Services to International Rowing Award” and the “Thomas Keller Medal Award” will remain unchanged.

The nominations for these awards will open on Tuesday, 17 September.
