BBC Cymru Wales Sports Personality of the Year


The BBC Cymru Wales Sports Personality of the Year is the most prestigious annual sport award in Wales. It was first awarded in 1954, and is currently organised by BBC Cymru Wales. Throughout much of its early history, the award was presented at its own televised ceremony.
Following a trial in 2002, the competition has been open to public voting, rather than a decision being made within the competition prior to this. It later reverted to being chosen by an expert panel of judges.
