Awards 2026 | Finalists unveiled
The finalists have been selected for the Scottish Gymnastics Awards 2026 sponsored by GymData.
The judging panel of members from the board, staff and sportscotland selected their shortlist from a record number of nominations. The finalists demonstrated their dedication and achievement during the membership year from September 2025 to August 2026.
We are also honouring three members for their decades of commitment to the sport. Ruth Griffin, Pauline Smith and Melanie Stewart-Wills will be presented with lifetime achievement awards. The panel also chosen to recognise Jamie Bowie for his services as Team Scotland gymnastics manager at three consecutive Commonwealth Games.
GymData is the event’s sponsor for the fifth consecutive year. The unique live scoring system allows judges to enter results electronically which means spectators can access up-to-date scores and results wherever they are.
Congratulations to the finalists and we look forward to our host, broadcaster Jennifer Reoch, revealing the winners on Saturday 14 November at The Pavilion at Ingliston.
We will share information about tickets soon!
