The 2021 Community Awards finalists have been selected with nominations now closed. Congratulations to all those who have been successful and for their continued work in the netball community.
Thank you to the Victorian community for getting involved by nominating and highlighting the contribution individuals or groups have given to their local netball communities.
The Community Awards are an opportunity to recognise the hard work and dedication that the Associations, Clubs and Leagues put in throughout the year. Our netball community is driven by the passion and love of it’s members. Although it has been another challenging year with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic several people and networks have made a lasting impression, progressing through to the next stage of the awards.
The winners will be announced on Thursday 2 December via an online event on Netball Victoria’s social media. Stay up to date by following our social channels for more information.
