One individual elected by public poll annually as a new voice for sport + spirit in Canada from a list of candidates selected for their current sports career + growing social media opportunity to build Canada through sport.
One participant in the poll will be drawn and awarded a prize of two tickets, transportation and accommodation to Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame 64th Induction Festival, Wednesday, October 23, 2019 in Toronto, Canada.
The Order of Sport People’s Choice Poll is a public poll administrated by Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame and is separate from that of Induction into Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame and the Order of Sport.
The criteria is different from that of the Order of Sport in that it allows athletes who are currently competitive to be named as candidates in the competition. A long list of candidates is compiled by a jury of social media experts and executives based upon developing trends in the then current year.
The format is to publish the list of candidates in groups of 4 candidates with respondents selecting one candidate from each group. At the end of the polling period, one People’s Choice poll winner is elected by popular votes cast by public participation in the poll on PeoplesChoice.Sportshall.caAll respondents who submit their email address will be entered into a contest to be drawn at the end of the polling period. One winner will be awarded a prize of two tickets to Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame 64th Induction Festival, Wednesday, October 23rd, 2019 in Toronto including transportation from any major Canadian city and one night’s accommodation in Toronto on Wednesday, October 23, 2019.
The poll will be live from September 20-October 11, 2019 for formal presentation of one winner at Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame Induction Festival, Wednesday, October 23.
