The BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award is the titular award of the BBC Sports Personality of the Year ceremony, which takes place each December. The winner is the sportsperson, adjudged by a public vote, to have achieved the most that year. The recipient must either be British or reside and play a significant amount of their sport in the United Kingdom. In November, a panel of thirty sports journalists each submit a list of ten contenders. From these contenders a shortlist of ten nominees is determined—currently, in the event of a tie at the end of the nomination process, a panel of six former award winners determines the nominee by a Borda count. The shortlist is announced at the beginning of December, and the winner is determined on the night of the ceremony by a public telephone vote.[1]
Sports Personality of the Year was created by Paul Fox, who thought of the idea while he was editor of the magazine show Sportsview. The first award ceremony took place in 1954 as part of Sportsview, and was presented by Peter Dimmock.[2] For the first show, voting were sent by postcard, and rules presented in a Radio Times article stipulated that nominations were restricted to athletes who had featured on the Sportsview programme since April. Approximately 14,500 votes were cast, and Christopher Chataway beat Roger Bannister to win the inaugural BBC Sportsperson of the Year Award.[3] Since then, numerous other awards have been introduced to the ceremony, which now consists of eight awards.
Three people have won the award multiple times: boxer Henry Cooper and the Formula One drivers Nigel Mansell and Damon Hill have each won twice.[4] Snooker player Steve Davis has finished in the top three a record five times.[5] HRH The Princess Anne (1971) and her daughter Zara Phillips (2006) are the only pair of award-winners to be members of the same family. The oldest recipient of the award is Dai Rees, who won in 1957 aged 44. Ian Black, who won the following year, aged 17, is the youngest winner.[4] Out of the fifty-seven recipients, thirteen have been female.[6] Sixteen sporting disciplines have been represented; athletics has the highest representation, with seventeen recipients.
Torvill and Dean, who won in 1984, are the only non-individual winners of the award. Counting them separately, there have been forty-five English winners of the award, four Scottish,[7] four Welsh,[8] three Irish,[9][10] and one Manx. The most recent award was made in 2011 to cyclist Mark Cavendish.

Notes
- ^ As a titled royal, Anne does not hold, nor ever has held, a surname. Before her marriage on 14 November 1973, her surname when required was her maiden name, Mountbatten-Windsor.[25]
- ^ a b c d Torvill and Dean refers to the English figure skating pair of Jane Torvill and Christopher Dean. For the summary tables each individual is counted as winning half an award, so together they are treated as one winner of the award.[19]
- ^ In 1991 Bob Nudd received the most votes—at more than 100,000—following a campaign in the Angling Times.[35] However the BBC deemed this to be against the rules and "discarded all the ballots cast on forms printed in the Angling Times".[36]
- ^ Justin Fashanu received a large number of votes following a campaign in Gay Times, but was disqualified from the award by the BBC.[41][42]
