    8 April
    2019

CELEBRATING SPORT’S ROLE IN ACHIEVING THE UN GLOBAL GOALS

ENTRIES FOR THE GENERAL CATEGORIES ARE NOW CLOSED. 

SPECIAL AWARD CATEGORIES COMING SOON...

 

In 2019, we're improving the way our Awards address the world's most pressing issues, support cutting-edge organizations and enable long-term, meaningful positive impact. We are doing this with:

  • An increased focus on the UN Sustainable Development Goals through further aligned criteria and evaluation based on each Global Goal's outcomes and indicators.
  • A new initiative to drive Collective Impact through a deeper, larger investment into two categories, supporting a group of organizations all using sport to address the same Global Goal. Details to be announced following the close of the general Awards window. 
  • An easy-to-use online application system to better serve our network and evaluate entries. 

Over the past decade, the Beyond Sport Global Awards have supported, celebrated and provided funding for some of the most innovative projects using sport to trigger positive social change – 300+ organizations, $1.5 million+ in funding and $8 million+ in long-term strategic support.
