The Play the Game Award

The Play the Game Award is presented at every Play the Game conference by the chairman of the board for the Danish Institute for Sports Studies or his/her representative. 

The award winner is chosen during the conference after nominations from the administration by an intern committee consisting of:

• The chairman of the board for the Danish Institute for Sports Studies
• A representative appointed by the board
• The director for the Danish Institute for Sports Studies and Play the Game
• The head of Play the Game
• The previous award winner

The award consists of a piece of art and a speaker’s invitation including free travel, accommodation, and board for the next Play the Game conference.
