​​​​​​​About the Awards

​​​​​​​

Community Connection Award: Celebrating those individuals or organisations that have made a significant contribution to sport and active recreation due to any initiative they have created and undertaken. This category is open to sport and active recreation organisations or initiatives that have persevered with their sport/recreation offering – e.g. reshaped and offered online, did things differently, created something completely new, supporting the building of resilience over a difficult time (not limited to COVID-19). ​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion: Celebrating initiatives that support diversity and inclusion within sport and active recreation. This includes initiatives to increase access, participation, leadership, and inclusion among ethnic minority groups, disabled people, women and girls, cultural and religious groups, or other communities. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

People’s Choice Sporting or Active Recreation Moment: Show us your favourite sporting or active recreation moment video. We want to see those moments that make you ‘proud’ – not necessarily just focused on winning, but having fun, showing effort or improvement, supporting teammates or the opposition, fair play and enjoyment of the game.​​​​​​​
