These prestigious biathlon awards are named after the late Gernot Kostera, an avid supporter of biathlon and a former President of the Alberta Biathlon Club. Gernot passed away in 2007 but left a legacy behind in the form of his charitable foundation that supports these awards. Since 2008 the Gernot Kostera Award is given annually to one male and one female aged 12-14. The award amount is $1000 per recipient. In addition, the Gernot Kostera Summer Camp Awards are given to one male and one female in the same age range. The Camp award is a free registration to the annual ABC summer camp. It is not a cash award and is not transferable.
Applicants must be residents of Alberta and between twelve and fourteen years of age on March 3, 2024. Applications are to be scanned into .pdf format and e-mailed with the subject line "ABC Kostera Award" to ABC at: info@albertabiathlon.com no later than midnight February 03, 2024.
