The Joey Dunlop Trophy, awarded annually to the Irish Motorcyclist of the Year, has become the most coveted piece of silverware which can be collected by exponents of two-wheel motorsport sport away from the racetracks.
The January gala ceremony in Belfast is a highlight of the motorcycling calendar which brings together top competitors, teams and race organisers from across Ireland and beyond to celebrate the achievements of the past 12 months.
A variety of different awards are up for grabs, but the highlight of the evening will as always be the crowning of the Irish Motorcyclist of the Year.
With the big night looming, BBC Sport NI assesses the six nominees for the main prize.
