Nominate the Academy’s Next Athlete of the Month

Make sure your voice is heard! The Academy’s Athlete of the Month Committee is seeking nominations for the next Athlete of the Month!

The Athlete of the Year/Month program is a long-standing, worldwide vote dating back to 1984. Each month, the Academy selects a male and female Athlete of the Month, who then becomes eligible to be named the Athlete of the Year at year’s end. The Athlete of the Year is recognized at the Awards of Sport Ceremony annually in November and the 2021 winners were American swimmers Caeleb Dressel and Katie Ledecky!

How Does It Work?

To submit a nomination, please fill out the form on this page! Our Athlete of the Month Committee meets early each month to select the six male and six female finalists for the ballot!

After all nominations are received, the Academy’s Athlete of the Month Committee – comprised of knowledgeable faculty and staff – will review submissions and determine a winner based on the performance and merits of nominees.
