Up to here, sounds good -But-
What about the kids? (17 & under)
Do you have an idea of what they and their families had to do to be part of your event? I think it is only fair that the world gets to know our future champions... We represent the future, we are the future.
See the Award Nominees listed below: To learn more about them stay tuned to immaf.org over the next five weeks as IMMAF focuses on each category in turn.
The winners are to be determined by member vote, and National Federations will be notified directly by IMMAF about how to take part.
Nominees for the publicly voted award, Green Hill Performance of the Year, will be announced during the week commencing the 4 November, with voting taking place via social media.
So, we are running out of time. Please help us by singing our petition.
The ultimate awardees for all categories will be revealed at the invitation only, black-tie awards dinner on Thursday 14 November during the 2019 IMMAF | WMMAA Unified World Championships in Manama.

The kids deserve recognition for their dedication. I am currently working on a formal proposal to ensure the younger athletes are finally included.

The youth may have been excluded since the award ceremony will take place after the Adult and Junior (18-20) World Championships this November in Bahrain. Nevertheless it would be nice to see some additional recognition for the youth who participated so well in the inaugural Cadet World Championships.
Actually thought the same to myself when I didn’t see the Youth nominations. Glad Ms Pam is taking a stance on it
These kids work just as hard as anyone else. Since their parents have to transport them back and forth instead of driving themselves like the older athletes, the amount of time devoted to their careers is considerable. Alana Delva is awesome!
I think all kids that have worked really hard to be the best in their rank should be recognized and even awarded so that they can continue to put in the hard work and their parents continue to make the sacrifices knowing that they are working towards a dream that is attainable and realistic.
We deserve to be known, we earned the right to be part of this event, we work hard and showcase a high level of skills... Let us be part of this too.
Competitors for the IMMAF Youth Championships deserve awards too!!!
All USA competitors, especially males athletes, deserve recognition for their achievements during this tournament and being the first to set world records.

Kids that are dedicated to the sport deserve every bit of recognition as adults if not more. Considering peer pressure and the road it takes kids down today this is something that's very healthy for them both in responsibility and discipline but not only that the sense of respect and sportsmanship that they learn has a very positive influence on everything they do in the future. I'm really proud of Alana and respect her for her determination and willingness to grow from the experience of each competition. I honestly think a lot of people could benefit tremendously by seeing her as a role model. I'm not speaking just for kids but a lot of adults could learn something from her as well.
