Poll: Orienteering Achievement of 2010

2010 has been another year full of great orienteering achievements - and as we now are moving towards 2011, it is again time to decide the greatest of achievements of the year. The annual poll to find the biggest Orienteering Achievements of the year is organized by two of the major sources for international orienteering news on the Internet - World of O and Ultimate Orienteering.

• The Orienteering Achievement of 2010 - Men (Voting closed December 6th)
• The Orienteering Achievement of 2010 - Women (Voting closed December 6th)

In the vote for "The Orienteering Achievement of 2010", the best achievement of the year is to be named - and not necessarily the best orienteer of 2010.

Timetable

On November 30th, all nominees will be presented at World of O and Ultimate Orienteering. The winner is decided in a vote amongst all the readers of World of O and Ultimate Orienteering between Tuesday November 30th and Monday December 6th. The winners will be announced December 9th. The following categories are included in The Orienteering Achievement of 2010:

• The Orienteering Achievement of 2010 - Men
• The Orienteering Achievement of 2010 - Women

See information about the prizes below the pictures of the nominees.

Prizes for "Lucky voters"

Prizes will be drawn among the voters:

1. A person can only vote once in each of the categories (if several people share one internet connection, only one can vote, as the IP address is used to identify the voter along with the email-address of the voter).
2. Prizes from our sponsors will be drawn among all people voting.
3. The winners will be made public after the poll closes at World of O and Ultimate Orienteering.
