Every year, the Sport in History Editorial Board votes on which paper to recognise with the Best Article Award. This is ordinarily announced at the Annual Conference.
The Sport in History Best Article Award for 2020-21 was presented to Rafaelle Nicholson (Bournemouth University) and Matthew Taylor (DMU) for their article 'Women, sport and the people’s war in Britain, 1939–45'.
The Sport in History Best Article Award was presented to Luise Elsaesser of the EUI for her article ‘"Dashing about with the greatest gallantry"’: polo in India and the British metropole, 1862–1914'.
