Victorian Sport Awards nominations now open
Is there someone at your local sport club who deserves recognition? Nominations for this year's Victorian Sport Awards close on February 13.
Presented by the Victorian Government and Vic sport, nominations for the Victorian Sport Awards (VSAs) have opened, acknowledging the full spectrum of Victorian sport and active recreation during the 2025 calendar year.
The VSAs recognises 18 awards covering individual and team athletes, coaches, officials, volunteers, administrators, media personnel and the initiatives that ensure Victorians remain active.
The awards provide the opportunity to celebrate the grassroots heroes who excelled at a community level, high-performance athletes who shone at a national and international level and everyone in between.
Nominations can be submitted via the Vicsport website until Friday February 13.
The nomination process is open to all members of the public.
"In partnership with the Victorian Government, Vicsport is excited to once again recognise and celebrate the outstanding achievements of our state's sport and recreation community at the Victorian Sport Awards," said Vicsport Chair, Jason Hellwig.
"With 18 awards to be presented, I strongly urge all Victorians to submit their nominations to ensure their sport is well represented on the night."
Following the closure of nominations, four finalists for each of the 18 awards will be decided by esteemed judging panels and announced in March.
Winners will then be revealed at the VSAs on Wednesday May 13 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
All finalists, family, friends, sporting organisations and clubs are invited to attend the VSAs and celebrate the successes of sport in Victoria. Ticketing details will be announced soon.
