Cursory google couldn’t find the nominations but did find this :
“BBC SPORTS PERSONALITY OF THE YEAR AWARD
This award goes to the sportsperson whose actions have most captured the UK public's imagination during 2018.
An expert independent panel (hereafter 'the Panel') will convene in November 2018 to decide the shortlist of sportspeople for the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award. The composition of the Panel will be published in due course.
The BBC Sports Personality of the Year production team will provide the Panel with an extensive list of the top sportspeople from 2018, including information on their achievements. The Panel will be free to consider other potential candidates.
The Panel will select a short list of sportspeople for the main award on the basis of the following criteria:
Reflects UK sporting achievements on the national and/or international stage;
Represents the breadth and depth of UK sports; and
Takes into account 'impact' of the person's sporting achievement beyond the sport in question.
Sportspeople are eligible to be nominated for the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award if they are UK citizens or all of the following criteria apply:
they play a significant amount of their sport in the UK; and
their core achievements that year were achieved in the UK, and not with a non-UK based team (in which case they would more likely qualify for the World Sport Star award); and
they are residents in the UK.
Non-playing coaches or management are not eligible.”
Sharron for Sports Personality!!!
