Athlete of the Year Award
[edit]The annual Island Sports Media Athlete of the Year Award is given to an athlete (of any sport) with a connection to the islands of Hawaii, who are outstanding athletes and role models both on and off the field. The winners are selected by a combination of votes from Island Sports Media writers and photographers, sponsors, various coaches, and fans.
Island Sports Media gave one award in its initial year of 2008 to David Veikune of the University of Hawaii football team. In 2009 the award included both a youth and collegiate level. Each category, after a nomination process, has three finalists. Fans are then able to vote for their favorite athlete with a portion of the vote counting.[4]
