Awards to honour state’s sporting heroes

Nominations have opened for the 2025 Victorian Sport Awards (VSAs).

Presented by the Victorian Government and Vicsport, the VSAs are the most prestigious night for the state’s sporting and active recreation sector and feature 18 awards covering individual and team athletes, coaches, officials, volunteers, administrators, media personnel and initiatives that ensure Victorians remain active.

The night provides the opportunity to celebrate both grassroots heroes who excelled at a community level and high-performance athletes who shone at a national and international level and everyone in between.

“This is such a special night on the Victorian sporting calendar where we have the opportunity to honour the grassroots heroes who keep our sport and recreation sector thriving alongside the high-performance athletes who starred on the world stage,” Vicsport chair, Jason Hellwig said.

“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 on Friday 13 February, 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 13 May 2026 in the Members Dining Room at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

All finalists, family, friends, sporting organisations and clubs are invited to attend the VSAs.

Ticketing details will be announced soon.

Nominations can be submitted between Wednesday 14 January and Friday 13 February 2026 and can be made by all members of the public.
