We’ll see when next autumn comes:) Anyway, I am happy that this edition had more sponsors, more voters and more suggested athletes than ever – and two great winners who I hope we’ll see more of in the future. BTW, my experience from getting help with Orienteering Achievement of the Year (it was co-organized with two other entities in some early editions) and other related stuff during the years is that it doesn’t reduce my workload significantly. Generally it is tricky to get high-quality deliveries on time for voluntary work, so you often end up having to do it yourself on an even tighter schedule …

@Jan I can imagine how many hours that are! But as long as the sponsors are interested I think its worth to try to keep it running. I guess there would be some persons from your WoO readers who would help you with some things included. Feel free to ask for help

@Color: Simply too much work to keep the high quality for Achievement of the Year, Course of the Year and Route to Christmas each November/December – I don’t dare to count all the hours I’ve used for it this year. Instead of reducing quality, I will probably skip one of them, and for now it looks like it will be Achievement of the Year. Kind of sad, as this year I think there were more suggested athletes/achievements and more votes than ever. But we’ll see when autumn comes again…

Hi Jan,

Sad to hear it could be the last orienteering achievement of the year award. What are the reasons behind it?
