For the men's and women's European athletes of the year, the most important criteria were honours won at the Berlin 2018 European Athletics Championships.
Nominees for the Rising Stars cover various age groups and include athletes that won gold medals at the Gyor 2018 European Athletics U18 Championships, the IAAF World U20 Championships Tampere 2018 as well as at the Berlin 2018 European Athletics Championships..
The winning athletes will be decided by counting votes from the fans, media, European Athletics Member Federations as well as an expert European Athletics panel, with the results from each group of voters counting for one quarter of the athlete's final score.
The voting will close on Friday 5 October at noon CET and shortly afterwards a shortlist of three finalists will be announced for each category.
No athlete who has previously served a two-year doping ban can be nominated for the Golden Tracks.
