Rotorua's Steven Adams and back-to-back Super Rugby champions the Chiefs are among the finalists for New Zealand's Favourite Sporting Moment award.

Ten sports highlights from 2013 have been named as finalists for the award to be announced at the Westpac Halberg Awards, on February 13.

It is the only category voted for by the public at the Westpac Halberg Awards.

Rugby, golf, basketball, yachting, motorsport, rugby league and softball all feature in the list of sporting moments from 2013.

The award gives the New Zealand public a chance to vote for the country's most exciting, remarkable, or compelling sporting moment, game or series in 2013.

Basketball star Steven Adams being drafted into the NBA, the Chiefs winning back-to-back Super Rugby titles, golfer Lydia Ko turning professional at just 16 and the NZ Breakers winning the Australian National Basketball League for the third straight year are all in line for the gong.

Kiwi sports fans can vote for their choice of New Zealand's favourite sporting moment once a day by text message or online through the Sky Sport and Radio Sport websites.

Check out the websites www.skysport.co.nz, www.radiosport.co.nz or www.sportingmoments.co.nz to find out more about voting.

The award winner will be announced at the 51st Westpac Halberg Awards on February 13 at Vector Arena in Auckland.

The finalists were selected by a panel of media representatives who compiled the list of great sporting moments from 2013, for the public to vote on.
