From these contenders a shortlist of ten nominees is determined—currently, in the event of a tie at the end of the nomination process, a panel of six former award winners determined the nominee by a Borda count. The shortlist was announced at the beginning of December, and the winner was determined on the night of the ceremony by a public telephone vote. In 2011 the shortlist produced only contained male competitors, which caused media uproar. The selection process for contenders was changed for the 2012 (and future) awards as follows: The BBC introduced an expert panel who were asked to devise a shortlist that reflected UK sporting achievements on the national and/or international stage, represented the breadth and depth of UK sports and took into account "impact" within and beyond the sport or sporting achievement in question. https://www.bbc.com/sport/0/sports-personality/24145324 Voting & judging: Terms & conditions 26 November 2013 BBC Sport 10 December 2013 Nominees The nominees for the 2013 award https://www.bbc.com/sport/0/sports-personality/25002342 Sports Personality 2013: Contenders for 60th BBC award 26 November 2013 BBC Sport 10 December 2013 and their share of the votes cast were as follows: NomineeSport2013 achievementBBC ProfileVotes (percentage)Andy MurrayTennis Became the first British man in the Open Era to win a singles title at Wimbledon (and the first outright since Fred Perry 77 years prior). 401,470 ( 401470 717454 2 yes )Leigh HalfpennyRugby unionDesignated man-of-the-series in the victorious Lions tour of Australia (their first series victory in 16 years) and player of the tournament in the Six Nations. 65,913 ( 65913 717454 2 yes )AP McCoyHorse racing Became the first jump jockey to ride 4,000 winners. 57,854 ( 57854 717454 2 yes )Mo FarahAthleticsWon the 5,000m and 10,000m events at the IAAF World Championships, thus becoming the first Briton to successfully defend a world title and win three.
