Since the last event of the season just took place in Abu Dhabi, the end of the year is fast approaching now. For the second year in a row, the IJF is organising the IJF Awards, that will take place online on 18th December at 7pm CET.

Several categories are now open for voting:

• WJT Ippon of the Year 

• Coaching Achievement of the Year

• Rising Star

• Female Judoka of the Year 

• Male Judoka of the Year 

Voting is done through your IJF account at https://awards.ijf.org and will close on 10th December 2021.

You can submit one vote per category per day (the website tells you how much time you have left) 

For each nominee in each category, a description is available by clicking on their picture. 

Three categories will be chosen by a group of international experts:

• Judo for Peace

• Judo for Children

• Community Hero

2021 was an exciting year and you too can participate in the voting process. We are waiting for your votes!
