Have your say and vote now for your men’s and women’s European Athletes of the Year across the European Athletics Instagram, Twitter and Facebook accounts!
The men’s and women’s European Athletes of the Year and Rising Stars will be crowned at the Golden Tracks awards ceremony which takes place in Vilnius, Lithuania on 21 October and will be streamed live on the European Athletics YouTube channel.
The social media vote accounts for one-quarter of the overall vote with the Member Federations vote, media vote and expert panel vote each accounting for one-quarter of the final vote.
You can submit your vote by 'liking' the image of the nominee across the three social media channels.
Voting closes across all channels on Monday 2 October and three finalists in each category will be announced on our social media channels in the following days.
Last year's winners were Femke Bol on the women's side while there was a historic tie on the men's voting with Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Armand Duplantis sharing the men's European Athlete of the Year award.
Incidentally, all three winners are nominated this year and have previously been crowned Rising Stars as well.
