Vote
here to help BMC ambassador Shauna Coxsey become BT Sport's Action Woman of the Year. This is the second edition of the awards and the first time a climber has been selected for the exclusive 10-woman shortlist.
2014 has been another incredible year for Britain's sportswomen and the shortlist is bursting with talented individuals who have produced dynamic sporting performances.
It's up to the public to decide who will succeed last year's winner, downhill mountain biking star Rachel Atherton, as Action Woman of the Year. Voting is open until Tuesday 2 December.
Each nominee has a supporter from the world of sport or entertainment who has been especially dazzled by their achievements this year. Shauna's supporter, olympic heptathlete Louise Hazel, says:
"I have complete admiration and awe for a woman who has become a world-beater at such a young age in a sport as physically and mentally challenging as climbing. You’ve got to be strong, brave, intuitive, flexible and very clever.
"I used to hang upside-down for maybe a few milli-seconds in the heptathlon high jump. This woman can spend all day there - and no ropes either. It is a privilege and pleasure to be her whole-hearted supporter."
Clare Balding will present the trophy to the winner during a star-studded awards ceremony at BT Sport's Olympic Park studios, which will be broadcast on BT Sport on Wednesday 10 December.

Shauna Coxsey (Double World Cup Bouldering Champion)
