Welcome
Welcome to the Victorian Community Sports Star Awards.
Now in their 36th year, the awards showcase some of the community's best sporting achievements and are featured in more than 25 Victorian Fairfax Community Network newspapers and magazines. The Victorian Community Sports Star Awards provide a platform to recognise the achievements of all members of the sporting community. All age groups and all sports are included, from snooker to speed car racing, snowboarding to sailing and everything in between.
Since their inception in 1974, the awards have become widely recognised and respected for supporting the careers of rising sporting champions, such as past Sports Star winners Andrew Bogut, Dustin Fletcher and Greg Fasala.
