Introducing the AP Films Sportsmanship Award.🏆
As a photographer, videographer, and competitor, I get to witness so much more than what happens on the track or in the arena. I see the encouragement, respect, helping hands, and quiet moments that often go unnoticed. Those moments deserve to be recognized. This is my way of giving back.
That’s why I’m excited to introduce the AP Films Sportsmanship Award, an award that celebrates character, kindness, and the people who make our sports communities better. Something I stand by.
As a competitor myself, I know how much hard work goes into earning a buckle or trophy. I wanted to create an award that’s different, one that recognizes not the fastest rider or quickest run, but the person who makes our sport better through their character.
Nominations are open today July 9 – September 9 for two awards:
• Motocross Sportsmanship Award
• Barrel Racing / Rodeo Sportsmanship Award
Anyone can submit a nomination. I’ll read every submission and combine those with what I’ve personally witnessed throughout the season to choose the winners.
Each winner will receive:
• Barrel Racing / Rodeo: A custom buckle (photo shown)
• Motocross: A custom trophy (currently in the works)
• AP Films merch
I understand this season is already half way over however since I’m involved in both communities and have witnessed a lot of races so far, I wanted to start this ASAP!
If you’re a business interested in supporting these awards, I’d love to hear from you. With enough support, I’d also love to recognize runners-up or highly nominated individuals and make this an annual thing!! 🙌🏼✨
Competition is important, but character is what people remember.
Nomination links are in my bio (IG) and this post will be pinned to my page.
