Voting Procedure

Voting comprises a two-part process, combining the votes made by squash fans on social media with the votes made by the PSA Awards Committee – a group consisting of selected influential former players, members of the media, tournament promoters and PSA Board representatives.

This then determines the winners of the four biggest annual awards; Female Player of the Year, Male Player of the Year, Young Female Player of the Year and Young Male Player of the Year

The players with the most cumulative points are the winners.

The shortlists for each award will be revealed on Tuesday August 1, at which point public voting on each award will commence.

The public vote for each award will close at 23:59 (GMT+1) on Thursday August 10, with the winner of each award set to be announced in Paris.
