September 03, 2008 | Gymnastics

ATHENS, Ga. --- SportsTravel magazine has announced that the 2008 NCAA Division I Women's Gymnastics Championships has been nominated for a 2008 SportsTravel Award. Events are nominated and then voted upon by readers of SportsTravel, the sports world's event magazine. Criteria for nomination and voting include superior organization of and attendance at the event, a superior experience for the competitors and/or spectators at the event, and how the site or venue served to enhance the event. Final balloting is open through September 15, 2008. Winners will be announced at the TEAMS 2008 Conference & Expo, October 21-25, 2008, in Pittsburgh.

"Since an event and the venue where it's held are so dependent on one another, receiving this nomination is as much a credit to the venue as it is to the event," said Timothy Schneider, publisher of SportsTravel magazine, which organizes the TEAMS Conference & Expo. "SportsTravel readers are the leaders of the sports-event industry and they know how important quality venue partners are to successful events," said Schneider. "The SportsTravel Awards program is an opportunity for them to honor their peers and the venues that host sporting events for a job well done."

Official ballots are available in the August and September issues of SportsTravel magazine. Readers may also find more information and vote online athttp://www.SportsTravelMagazine.com. The ballot includes nominees in amateur, collegiate and professional categories. Awards in those three categories will be given for best single-sport event, best multi-sport or multi-discipline event, and best sports event series or circuit. Voters will also pick the best new sports event and an overall Sports Event of the Year from among the nominated events.
