The LINK nky Team of the Week presented by OrthoCincy is hitting the home stretch for winter sports.
TOW will continue through February before we get into our Team of the Season voting in March!
LINK nky is once again excited to partner with OrthoCincy Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine and announce the highly popular Team of the Week, Team of the Season and Team of the Year awards!
Nominations and Voting
Each week, a call for Team of the Week nominations will be announced via LINK nky’s online and printed editions with links shared on all of LINK nky social media platforms. The inclusive nomination and selection process will highlight the team’s achievements from the prior week with a supported photo of the team to represent them.
Voting instructions along with each nominated team’s accomplishment(s) will be published online every Monday and posted in that week’s print edition. A link will be shared via social media as well. The voting process is open to the public through Friday at noon each week, and the newest TOTW will be announced with a featured article on Friday and featured in the following week’s print edition.
Participants can vote multiple times a day and can vote every day leading up to the close of voting. All are encouraged to share voting links to help promote the team of their choice.
Team of the Season and Team of the Year
Again this year, the program will include Team of the Season (TOTS) and Team of the Year (TOTY) awards. Sports seasons are considered fall, winter and spring for the purpose of this awards program. At the conclusion of each sports season, an overall TOTS winner will be chosen from all previous TOTW winners for that season. Their school will also receive a $500 scholarship to be presented to the athlete of their choice at the end of the school year.
Finally, the program culminates by selecting one TOTY from the three TOTS award winners. Online and print articles will again be published, a large commemorative plaque will be presented and the school will receive an additional $500 scholarship to be presented to the athlete of their choice at the end of the school year.
The call for nominations, voting and winning announcement for each will follow the same format as the TOTW.
OrthoCincy Orthopeadics and Sports Medicine and LINK nky are again proud to partner and celebrate the remarkable achievements of our local high school athletes and teams!
