FIA Awards for volunteers in Motorsport

[wolfhound]

I see where the FIA are going to give awards to officials or other volunteers who help with running motorsport events.
Will this be recognition for those who spend many hours on a wet and windy bank?

I know not every one has access to the reference but its where I found the information, but it seems to be one of Jean Todt's ideas.

Not forgetting of course that a lot of marshalling happens in places other than "on the bank"

As previously agreed by the WMSC, annual FIA awards will be presented to volunteers and officials in order to recognise the valuable work of motor sport personnel around the world. In addition to the six awards for senior and other officials, marshals and scrutineers, the eligibility for the inaugural award for the ‘Outstanding Official of the Year’ will be extended – for 2011 only – to any exceptional official from any period of motor sport. The 2011 award will therefore be presented to the ‘Most Outstanding Official’. ASNs must send their nominations to the FIA by 15 October.
