How is the award decided?
Nominations are entered into a local award for your BBC nation or region. After a panel discussion, the local winners are announced in each of the 15 regions.
The 15 winners go to a national panel, of current and former sports stars and people active in sports volunteering. They reach their decision, with the winner being announced live at the Sports Personality of the Year Awards on 15 December.
