2024 Sport Design Australia awards

It's time to get recognised

It’s about time that sports creators and creative teams got the recognition they deserve. We’ve made it our mission to provide that to the industry in a way that’s different from anything else out there. Have you ever looked at awards categories and felt like none of them were quite right for you? Well, look no further!

Introducing the inaugural Sport Design Australia Awards, where we will celebrate and honour those who have contributed to the industry with incredible, eye-watering, jaw-dropping creative within the last 12 months.

You can enter as an individual or part of a creative team, with a range of categories tailored for designers, creators, and content specialists.

Pre-season checklist

Show us your best!
We've created 16 categories to recognise the talent & skills in our industry

Whether you're an individual perfecting their craft, or you're part of a creative team, we've got an award category for you.

We want to see the best of the best in the sports industry, and showcase it to the world. We see out of this world creativity every day, but because of how quickly sport moves on, it often doesn't get recognised. Now is the time for recognition with the Sport Design Australian annual awards.

Check out our Awards guide for all of the entry requirements.

Entries will close on November 1st, 2024. Winners will be announced week commencing November 18th, 2024.
