Are Baltimore Ravens Fans the best sports fans in the country? Are you the best Ravens fan there is?

If you can convince FanSided that you are the biggest sports fan in the country, we’ll send you and a guest to New York City to attend the annual Sports Illustrated Sportsperson of the Year event and name you Sports Fan of the Year!

When the Ravens hosted the Colts in the 2012 playoffs, he did his last dance as the clock expired. He did it for the fans. Remember the Super Bowl parades? The fans showed the world how much the Ravens mean to them. The Ravens showed the world how much they love their fans.  What would sports be without the fans? Without the fans, there is no roar, there is no electricity, there is no glory.

Last year, we decided it was finally time to recognize the nameless faces watching from the bleachers when we named Dennis Gleason the inaugural Sports Fan of the Year. If you wake up with a loud “Kaw!” this honor could be yours. If you lose your voice at M&T Bank Stadium for the Ravens, this award could be yours. Let’s make sure, the FanSided Sports Fan of the Year is clad in purple and black!

What qualifies someone to be the FanSided Sports Fan of the Year?

The FanSided Sports Fan of the Year is a person who exemplifies dedication, integrity and “Fansmanship” all for the love of the game.

What is “Fansmanship”? Just as athletes exhibit and strive for good sportsmanship, fans strive to exhibit good Fansmanship. Good Fansmanship means representing the teams you follow and the communities those teams represent in a positive way at all times thus perpetuating all that is good about sports and sports fandom. Every fan has a story. We want to hear yours.

Be sure to read the full contest rules as restrictions do apply. We can’t wait to start reading/viewing your submissions.
