Everyday will see a feature uploaded to the IPC website, giving an exclusive look back at each moment that has shaped the past year.

Photos, videos and promotions will be uploaded onto the IPC's social media outlets in order to allow fans to relive the best bits of 2014.

The top 50 moments are ranked according to the overall impact they had on the Paralympic Movement this year and are chosen based on sports performance, emotional impact, media attention and athletes' personal stories.

They will include performances from major Championships and events, such as the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games, as well as happenings that took place away from the field of sport.

This will be the third year in a row that the IPC has launched the top 50 countdown, with NBC signing a broadcast deal to show the Sochi 2014 and Rio 2016 Paralympic Games in the United States the best moment of last year and Italian Alex Zanardi's double gold medal success at the London Paralympics the best moment of 2012.

"As with 2012 and 2013, we will celebrate a fantastic year of sport in 2014 by counting down the top 50 moments of the year between now and the end of the year," said Craig Spence, the IPC's director of media and communications.

"I am sure that the top moments will spark much debate amongst sport fans each day when they are unveiled and I know the judging panel has a tremendously difficult job in finalising what made the last and what did not."

In order to produce the final list, the IPC invited nominations from all IPC members before a special panel decided the top 50.
