The BBC Wales Sports Personality of the Year is a televised sporting competition, broadcast on BBC Two every year; and the most prestigious annual sport award in Wales. It was first awarded in 1954, and is currently organised by BBC Wales. Since a trial in 2002, the competition has been open to public voting, rather than a decision being made within the competition prior to this.[1]
