The Executive Committee of the Malta Sports Journalists Association (MSJA) has published the full results for all categories of the 63rd edition held on Saturday 25th February at the Sir Temi Zammit Hall at the University of Malta.

The jury cast their votes few days before the winners were announced during the actual awards ceremony.

The jury for this year’s edition was composed of Clinton Buhagiar (ONE Sport), Valhmor Camilleri (Times of Malta), Chris Falzon and Joanna Camilleri (TVMSport), Charles Camenzuli (NET Media), Keane Cutajar (Malta Daily), Jesmond Moore (Union Press) and Sandro Micallef representing the votes of the Executive Committee of MSJA.

In the case of the People’s Choice Award the jury’s vote accounted to 40% of the final result with 40% by public emails and 20% Federations/Associations preferences.
