The awards are the ultimate trophy for any Good Sports club, paying tribute to the heart and soul of community sporting clubs - no matter their size or sporting code.
Alcohol and Drug Foundation CEO Dr Erin Lalor AM said the awards recognise strong clubs and the dedication of people who are passionate about them.
"The awards recognise the strong clubs and dedicated people who are passionate about community, their members and making their club the very best it can be. They are with us in the good times and help us get through the tough times," she said.
"Even if your club's season has been cut short this year due to COVID-19, celebrating your wins and achievements is the perfect way to boost club morale and keep members feeling proud and connected," Dr Lalor added.
