The winners in the five categories will be determined by a vote consisting of the choices of fans, sports journalists and LVF, with the majority – 40% – forming a fan vote on the LVF website.

Traditionally, the prizes were awarded during the “Latvian Cup”, but taking into account the current circumstances, the prize-giving event will be clarified whether, similarly to the previous year, the prizes will be presented individually.

This year, in each nomination, the three strongest are put to the vote of the fans and the jury, who took the lead after the vote of the commissions and secretariat of the Latvian Volleyball Federation.
