There are six categories of awards, ranging from youth to seniors and the unsung contributors behind the scenes who deserve recognition for their hard work in their chosen sport.

The categories include: Sir Brian Lochore Memorial Award for Outstanding Sportsperson from a Rural Background, Lifetime Legacy Award, Young New Zealand Rural Sportsperson of the Year, Outstanding Contribution to Rural Sports, New Zealand Rural Sportswoman of the Year, New Zealand Rural Sportsman of the Year.
