Recognising and celebrating those who made an outstanding contribution to Victorian sport across all levels during the past calendar year, the Victorian Sport Awards is the night of nights for the state’s sporting community.
Presented by the State Government of Victoria and Vicsport, this year’s award will be on June 7 at Marvel Stadium, Docklands.
Acknowledging the full spectrum of Victorian sport across metropolitan and regional areas throughout the 2022 calendar year, the awards will honour a wide range of people from grassroots heroes to those who excelled at the Commonwealth Games and Winter Olympics.

Of these, 19 awards will be open for nominations between February 6 and March 3.
