Players’ Awards

The WIPA Awards

The WIPA Awards was established because the West Indies Players’ Association thought it fit to celebrate the outstanding contribution of the association’s members. As such, in 2004, WIPA sought to recognize and reward those players who distinguished themselves by their performance, and who lifted their games beyond their years – and their peers. WIPA continued to host this ceremony for another eight years.

A New Era – The West Indies Annual Awards

Over time, the awards ceremony was renamed the WICB/WIPA Awards and then the CWI/WIPA Awards. In 2018, there were eighteen (18) award categories.
