The '''World Bowls Tour Awards''' are the annual awards ceremony hosted by the [[World Bowls Tour]] to recognise the achievements of the [[bowls]] players who compete on the World Bowls Tour (WBT). The annual event is usually held in January, which take place just before the [[World Indoor Bowls Championships]] begins. The annual World Bowls Tour Hall of Fame induction happens at the annual awards ceremony too, which was launched along with the inaugural World Bowls Tour Awards ceremony in 2008.
