The European University Sports Association (EUSA) is pleased to invite all member delegations to submit their proposals for the Enno Harms Fair Play Award 2025, honouring outstanding examples of fairness, integrity, and respect in university sport.

In the context of the European Universities Championships 2025, we invite all member delegations to submit their proposals to help us recognise and celebrate individuals or university teams who have demonstrated outstanding acts of fairness, integrity, and sportsmanship during the Championships.

To submit a nomination, please complete the official form.

Alternatively, you may access the form directly by scanning the QR code provided.

Guided by EUSA’s principles and the Olympic spirit, our events promote respect, equality, and non-discrimination, contributing to a more inclusive and peaceful society through sport.

The prestigious annual EUSA Enno Harms Fair Play Award is awarded to athletes demonstrating fair play during the matches, following the rules, and pursuing a “clean” game, and is awarded with a fair play recognition already during the event. EUSA Executive Committee members discuss the proposals received from all sporting events governed by EUSA in that year and select the team or individual to receive the Enno Harms Fair Play award, which is formally handed to them at a special occasion, usually at the  EUSA Gala.

Since 2007, EUSA has honoured outstanding acts of fair play with the Enno Harms Fair Play Award, named after our first President and a strong advocate for fair play. At each event, organisers, delegates, and participants commit to upholding fair play, with the oath of respect and integrity declared during the opening ceremonies.

In partnership with the European Fair Play Movement (EFPM), we actively promote sportsmanship, respect, and solidarity at all our events. For over 20 years, EUSA has championed these values, recognising fair play as the true essence of sport.

Fair play is present in sports as the unwritten rule, a moral value that represents the real essence of sport. It represents that opponents must be appreciated, and nowadays, in the practice of sports, more than ever, it is vitally important to defend the values intrinsic to sport: respect for oneself and others, solidarity, and fair play.
