RYA Scotland Impact Awards

Our RYA Scotland Impact Awards are designed to celebrate exceptional commitment and impact within the Scottish sailing community. To help us do this, we are encouraging nominations for people you think deserve recognition for going above and beyond in supporting activity afloat. 

These people can be RYA members, participants, paid staff, or volunteers (groups and organisations welcome too!) - we simply want to recognise the hard work which goes into supporting safe, fun, and inclusive boating. 

RYA Scotland Impact Awards are distributed on a rolling basis throughout the year, with nominations always open year round.

Nominations can be a very personal thank you for the impact someone has made to you, or a much wider recognition of their impact to the sport or organisation.

Our staff team will review your nominations and present awards throughout the season to highlight some of the exceptional activity taking place across Scotland, with a focus on the people behind these efforts.

Do you have someone in mind? We want to know:

• Who has made a positive impact on your time afloat?

   

• What do you think makes this person, team or organisation a bit different and deserving of recognition through an award?

   

• How would you reward this person or organisation?

To nominate someone for an Impact Award - fill out the form today.
