the online voting for the 31st edition of the Sailing Newspaper’s Sailor of the Year. The prestigious award, the Oscar della Vela, which the Journal has been putting up for grabs since 1991 in this 2023 comes with some new features, starting with the format of the 60 nominees, but also in terms of the participation of the public who, by voting, have a chance to win as we tell you below.
How the Sailor of the Year 2023 works.
We were talking about so many novelties being inaugurated in this 2023 edition, starting with the candidates, who are 60 instead of 100 as in the past, in order to aim from the outset for a pool of sailors with a higher quality. The division into categories remains, but only one competes for the first prize, which will be awarded by the Sailing Newspaper jury along with those in the categories Passion, Young, Owner, Innovation. The other changes as you will read below concern public participation.
Step 1. May 22-June 5
-
There are 60 candidates
selected by the Newspaper of Sailing, divided into 5 categories(Sailor of the Year, Passion, Young, Owner, Innovation) to be voted online-you can find out about them now-at sailoroftheyear.giornaledellavela.com from 1 p.m. on Monday, May 22 to noon on Monday, June 5, 2023.
- Everyone will be able to cast a vote for each category (max 5 votes), subject to email entry. The public vote is binding, paxe to the finals the top 3 vote-getters in each category from which the Sailing Newspaper Jury will choose the final winners. The candidate who has taken the most votes overall will automatically win the Most Voted audience award.
Step 2. June 15/16
- In two video installments on our Youtube channel, social media and our website we reveal who the winners chosen by the Sailing Newspaper jury are and interview them for you in an unmissable “vela-talk.”
