一年一度的香港傑出運動員選舉由中國香港體育協會暨奧林匹克委員會主辦，目的旨在表揚香港運動員和隊 伍在比賽上爭取佳績，並鼓勵香港的下一代以他們作榜樣，藉此推動全民運動，促進體育文化發展。由於很多體壇名人、精英運動員及社會各界名人都會盛裝出席頒 獎禮，所以此選舉又有「香港體壇奧斯卡」之稱。

The annual Hong Kong Sports Stars Awards is held by the Sports Federation & Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China with the following aims:

• To encourage Hong Kong athletes and teams to strive for excellence
• To provide role models and inspiration for Hong Kong young people, thus help to promote sports development in Hong Kong
• To encourage the community’s involvement in sports to further promote the sport culture in Hong Kong
   

As sports and social celebrities as well as elite athletes are well-dressed for the prize presentation ceremony, it has always been recognized as an “Oscar Sports Event” of Hong Kong.
