To nominate a player for an award, send an email to belfastultimate@googlemail.com, stating the category, the player's name, and a short description of why you are nominating that person. The categories are listed below.

The 'Belfast Ultimate Awards 2009' categories

Well those who were at the social on Saturday already know who the winners are. First I'd like to thank everyone who voted and everyone who put up with me nagging them to vote. I'd also like to thank Garry for organising a great social. Coyles was a great venue; the atmosphere was great, with Radiohead playing in the background; the food was delicious; and the staff there were excellent. They even put up with us firing little disc type things around the room. Those who weren't there really missed out.

Building on the most successful year for Belfast Ultimate so far, nominations for the Annual Belfast Ultimate Awards have been received for 2008. The Awards include the Best Player, the Best Beginner, the Most Spirited Player and the Biggest Contribution. Of particular note, Adam Glover (Best Player and Most Spirited), Stephen Graham (Best Player and Best Beginner), Chris Hunter (Best Player and Best Beginner) and Pete Gaston (Best Player and Biggest Contribution) all received two nominations.
