The Scottish Orienteering Association picked up the prestigious Peoples Choice Award - Event of the Year at the Drum Event Awards in Glasgow for the staging of Highland 2015 – World Orienteering Championships and the Scottish 6-Days. 

Partners included EventScotland, British Orienteering and the Scottish Orienteering 6-Day Event Co Ltd, and thanks go out to everyone involved, particularly the many helpers, clubs and volunteers who helped make this event such a success. 
 
A Commendation for Sports Event of the Year was also received and so all-in-all a tremendous night for the promotion of orienteering to a much wider audience. 

Colin Matheson, Events Manager from the Scottish Orienteering Association attended the red-carpet ceremony in Glasgow and was quick to thank key players through social media – Richard Oxlade was Event Coordinator for the Scottish 6-Days and Paul McGreal Event Director for the World Orienteering Championships 2015.
