We’re five years in, RVA, and it’s time to celebrate the best of the best in sports across the Richmond Region! The Richmond Region Tourism Foundation is calling on YOU to help us shine a spotlight on the athletes, coaches, and leaders who make our sports scene unstoppable.
From youth leagues to high schools, college teams to the pros — and every hometown hero in between — we want your nominations. If they inspire, compete, or coach right here in one of our seven communities (Chesterfield, Hanover, Henrico, Richmond, Ashland, New Kent, or Colonial Heights), they deserve a shot at the spotlight.
How It Works:
- Three finalists in each public voting category will be announced.
- Fan Voting runs December 1 – January 15 at WTVR.com.
- Your vote matters: Fans count for 75% of the total score, with RVA’s top sports media panel making up the other 25%.
The winners will be revealed live at the 2026 RVA Sports Awards Show on Saturday, January 31 at Altria Theater, the biggest sports night in RVA!
So, who’s your MVP? Your game-changing coach? That rising star everyone needs to know?
Nominate them now and let’s celebrate RVA’s sports greatness together! (If you are making multiple nominations, click here to email our team.)
