Sunday Times and Sky Sports Sportswomen of the Year Awards

"The Sunday Times" Sportswomen of the Year Awards are an awards ceremony that takes place annually, organised by "The Sunday Times" newspaper. 
Established in 1988 by the then Editor, Andrew Neil, the Awards are a recognition of the tremendous contribution made by Britain’s most prominent sportswomen. The ceremony, which has been held in various locations across London, is among the most prestigious and influential in the British sporting calendar.
Previous winners of the main award, "The Sunday Times" Sportswoman of the Year, include Paula Radcliffe, Pippa Funnell, Denise Lewis, Dame Kelly Holmes, Zara Phillips and Victoria Pendleton. Sarah Stevenson, the 2011 world Taekwondo champion, was crowned the overall winner in December 2011.
The Awards are supported by the Women's Sport and Fitness Foundation, the Sport and Recreation Alliance, UK Sport and Sport England. 
Sky Sports announced in September 2013 that they would partner the Sunday Times Sportwomen of the Year Awards until 2015. It was an extension on the channels support of women's sport and their commitment towards its year-round coverage of women's sport.
