Presented by the Victorian Government and Vicsport, nominations opened on Wednesday 15 January for the Victorian Sport Awards (VSAs) which acknowledges the full spectrum of Victorian sport across all levels during the 2024 calendar year.
The most prestigious night for the state’s sporting and active recreation community, the VSAs recognises and celebrates those who made an outstanding contribution to Victorian sport during 2024 by honouring the grassroots heroes who excelled at a community level, high-performance athletes who shone at a national and international level and everyone in between.
With 18 awards presented, individual and team athletes, coaches, officials, volunteers, administrators, media personnel and the initiatives that ensure Victorians remain active will all be recognised.
The nomination process is open to all members of the public.
Nominations can be submitted via the Vicsport website between Wednesday 15 January and Friday 14 February 2025.
“In partnership with the Victorian Government, Vicsport is thrilled to once again recognise and celebrate the outstanding achievements of our state’s sport and recreation community at the Victorian Sport Awards,” Vicsport Chair Jason Hellwig said.
“The premier event on the Victorian sporting calendar, it is a special night where we have the opportunity to honour the grassroots heroes who keep our sport and recreation sector thriving as well as the high-performance athletes who starred on the world stage at events such as the Paris Olympics and Paralympics.”
“With 18 awards on offer, I strongly urge all Victorians to submit their nominations to ensure their sport is well represented on the night.”
Following the closure of nominations after Friday 14 February, four finalists for each of the 18 awards will be decided by esteemed judging panels and announced in March before the winners are revealed on Wednesday 14 May 2025 in the Members Dining Room 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.
