The EHF Excellence Awards is an annual handball awards ceremony held by the European Handball Federation.[1] It was first held in 2023 in Vienna, Austria. The best players of the season on each position both on the men's and women's side are awarded, as well as Rookie of the season, Defender of the season, and MVP of the season. The ceremony also includes Beach Handball MVP's.[2]
Players can be shortlisted by their performance in the EHF Champions League, EHF European League, EHF Euro, and the IHF World Championship.[3] The winners are decided by voting from players, coaches, media representatives and fans, each group representing 25% of the votes.[4] [5]
