Nominations are now open for the Alcohol and Drug Foundation’s Good Sports Awards, giving community sporting clubs across Victoria, the chance to shine in the national spotlight and win cash prizes.
The ADF Victoria Manager Skye Mackay said the annual Good Sports Awards celebrate strong community sporting clubs and volunteers who are passionate about their community, their members and making their club the very best it can be.
“There are amazing community sports clubs doing really important work to break the link between alcohol and sport, and to reduce and prevent alcohol and other drug harms. We want this work to be shared and celebrated,” Ms Mackay said.
“The Good Sports Awards are the ultimate trophy for clubs that are part of the Good Sports program. The awards shine the spotlight on success, celebrate the volunteers who are the backbone of community sport, and provide winning clubs with the recognition they deserve.”
Good Sports clubs can enter multiple categories including Club of the Year, Volunteer of the Year, Safe Transport Award, Mental Health Excellence Award, Junior Club of the Year, New Club of the Year and Community Club of the Year.
“Whether it’s your club’s champion volunteer, managing alcohol responsibly, looking after your junior members or supporting club members’ mental health, you know your club’s biggest strength. We encourage Good Sports clubs to nominate today for a chance to win,” Ms Mackay said.
Good Sports clubs must nominate before 11 November for their chance to be crowned a winner at an awards ceremony in Canberra early next year and win a share of more than $13,000 in prize money.
Good Sports is Australia’s largest community health sports program, helping to build strong community sporting clubs across Australia for over 25 years.
