WINNERS & TROPHIES

At each Arctic Winter Games, the AWG International Committee presents the Hodgson Trophy to the contingent whose athletes best exemplify the ideals of fair play and team spirit.

The Arctic Winter Games promotes the philosophy that fair play and sportsmanship are as important as athletic com-petition.

The awarding of a Fair Play pin recognizes those indi-viduals who go “above and beyond” and demonstrate respect for other people and the community, and who are excellent ambassadors for their sport and their contingent.
