ASC Sport Performance Awards judged by commitment to ‘win well’
With nominations open for the 2024 Australian Sport Performance Awards, Australian Sports Commission Chief Executive Kieren Perkins has noted the awards are judged not only on results, but how an “individual, team, or sport aligns to our united commitment to win well, which is the key to balancing performance and wellbeing in the lead up to Brisbane 2032 and beyond.”
The ASPAs are an annual awards ceremony that celebrates the outstanding achievements of not only athletes and teams but also the coaches, volunteers and leaders in Australian high performance sport.
The finalists for all 13 awards are nominated by national sporting organisations and state and territory sport institutes and academies, with a new award, the Service to Sport Award, added this year to recognise the long-term dedication and contribution by an individual to sport.
This year’s ASPAs will recognise feats from the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, along with the successes of winter athletes gearing up for Milano Cortina 2026.
Perkins said this year’s awards is set to be a blockbuster adding “however you measure it, 2024 has been an incredible success, with our athletes topping the world in a wide range of sports.
“But on top of the Olympic and Paralympic medals and world championship wins, we will also be celebrating how our athletes win well.”
Perkins also welcomed the return of the Volunteer of the Year award, which has been celebrated at the ASPAs for the past two years.
“Volunteers are the lifeblood of Australian sport and with our home Games in Brisbane just eight years away, I’m very pleased that we will once again be honouring them alongside our Olympians and Paralympians,” he said.
Nominations are open until Wednesday 23rd October, with the full guidelines and criteria available on the AIS website
Finalists will be announced in November, with the winners to be unveiled at a gala dinner in Melbourne on 4th December.
