The FIA Prize Giving Ceremony is an annual event promoted by Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) which honours the achievements of all FIA champions over the previous season.
In 2014, the FIA introduced a new format where the champions and guests took part in a competition held at a kart circuit designed by Hermann Tilke, under the race direction of Charlie Whiting. Rookie of the Year and Action of the Year are presented annually, whilst awards such as Personality of the Year have previously been awarded.[1] Other special awards include Outstanding Official of the Year and the President Innovation Medal.
