Yorkshire Post Sports Star of the Year: Vote here

The sporting year of 2012 has been one long glorious pageant.

And the men and women of Yorkshire have been at the very forefront of that spectacular parade of sporting achievement.

From the county’s heroic Olympians, who set pulses racing and imaginations soaring, to the mighty Leeds Rhinos who strengthened their claims on greatness with another monumental triumph.

From the stars who consolidated their positions at the head of their individual sports, to the members of our national teams who played their part in sustained success – January to December has been one long celebration of sport.

Today the Yorkshire Post launches its 2012 Sports Star of the Year awards and we want you to get involved to decide who deserves the accolade.

Sift through the achievements of the men and women of the White Rose and there is a whole host of candidates and potential winners from a broad cross-section of sport.

A fantastic prize of a day working with our team of sports writers awaits if you correctly nominate the winner of the 2012 Yorkshire Post Sports Star of the Year.

Our champion will be the one who receives the most nominations from you, our readers. Each nomination counts as a vote.

The winner of the reader’s grand prize will be chosen at random from those who nominate the eventual winner.

The criterion is Yorkshire-born sportsmen and women, or people who play for Yorkshire clubs or live and train in the county, who have achieved significantly over the past 12 months.
