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.
The MSJA Executive Committee takes this opportunity to thank SportMalta, the Ministry for Education, Sport, Youth, Research and Innovation, and all the sponsors, for yet another successful edition.
