All high school athletes, male or female, that attend a Frederick high school, public or private, are eligible to be nominated in Frederick's Best: Athlete of the Month.

Any Frederick County high school athlete can be nominated by anyone in the community.

Athlete nominations will be reviewed and approved as long as the nomination is legit and the athlete is nominated during the nomination period. We will not approve any nominations outside the nomination window.

The Frederick News-Post and Sports Team will review all nomination submissions for accuracy.

Each month, a new sport will be featured. After the nomination period is over, we will open a seven-day window where the community can VOTE DAILY for their favorite male and female athletes.

At the end of the seven days, the female athlete and the male athlete with the most votes will be crowned the winner. The winners will be announced at the end of each month.

Each month, the top male and female athlete will win the following:

• $25 Visa gift card

• Gift Bag from MMI, The Centers for Advanced Orthopaedics

• Bragging Rights! At the end of each month, we will feature the winners in print in The Frederick News-Post and online.
